Medical Ethics why we need it by Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Medical ethics refers to rules that regulate professional conduct of doctors towards patients and society. Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath upon qualifying, which binds them to certain ethical principles like beneficence, non-maleficence and informed consent. The practice of medicine and ethics are inseparable, as every clinical decision has an ethical component. It is important for doctors to understand ethical frameworks and consider perspectives beyond just their medical knowledge to make decisions regarding patient care that are both medically sound and ethically justified.

Code of ethics
Ethics is the branch of philosophy that addresses concepts of morality like good and evil, right and wrong. There are several branches of ethics including meta-ethics, normative ethics, applied ethics, and descriptive ethics. Organizations often adopt ethical codes to provide guidance on handling ethical situations. These codes address issues like corporate social responsibility, employee conduct, and professional standards. Cultural norms also influence etiquette which outlines expectations for social behavior within a society or group.
Ethics
Ethics involves moral standards that govern behavior and determine what is good versus bad. Ethical behavior follows principles of moral reasoning and can vary across cultures. Upholding ethics in business requires balancing universal moral standards with local cultural norms. Many factors influence individual and organizational ethics, including moral development, values, leadership, and structural influences within a company.

4.05 drug addiction is a disease
Addiction is a chronic disease that is likely to recur, similar to other chronic diseases like diabetes or hypertension. Treatment is most effective when it combines both medication and behavioral treatments. Research shows treatment can be very effective, even when ongoing treatment is required, as addiction may otherwise recur without continued intervention and support. The document discusses understanding addiction as a disease, whether it is acute or chronic, and variability between individuals, before directing readers to a website to learn more about specific treatment experiences.
4.04 drug abuse and addiction
The document discusses drug abuse and addiction through a series of questions about an experiment with rats. The experiment shows that rats administered cocaine or electrical brain stimulation to the reward system will compulsively press a lever to receive more, demonstrating how drug use becomes reinforcing. It defines addiction as a chronic brain disease characterized by compulsive drug use despite negative consequences. While drug use is initially voluntary, it can lead to long-term changes in the brain that undermine a person's self-control and ability to stop using drugs. The risk of addiction is influenced by biological and environmental factors, and the threshold for addiction is not the same for all individuals.
4.03 drugs change the way neurons communicate
Certain drugs can interfere with neurotransmission in the brain by mimicking or blocking neurotransmitters like dopamine. Drugs like methamphetamine, nicotine, and cocaine cause the release of dopamine in the brain's reward system, producing feelings of pleasure. Alcohol alters brain neurons by binding to receptors for neurotransmitters such as GABA and glutamate. The effects of a drug depend on factors like dosage, route of administration, genetics, and environmental stresses.
4.02 neurons, brain chemistry, and neurotransmission
The document discusses neurons, brain chemistry, and neurotransmission. It describes how neurons communicate with each other through synapses using electrical and chemical signals. When a presynaptic neuron is activated, it releases neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, which may excite or inhibit that neuron and propagate the signal. The brain contains billions of neurons that interact through this synaptic transmission to control functions, behaviors, and emotions.
4.01 the brain what is going on in there
The document discusses the structure and functions of the main parts of the brain. It explains that the brain stem regulates basic functions like breathing and heart rate. The cerebellum coordinates movement and balance. The limbic system regulates emotions. The diencephalon processes sensory information and controls the pituitary gland. The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher-level cognitive functions like thinking, language, and perception. The document also describes how brain imaging techniques like PET scans are used to study brain activity during different tasks.
3.05 making decisions in the face of uncertainity
This document discusses making decisions involving biomedical technologies when facing uncertainty. It notes that while science can help analyze uncertain situations and identify susceptible individuals through genetic screening, this ability also raises difficult ethical questions about using genetic information. Ultimately, science can determine what is possible but public policy and ethics analysis are needed to determine what should be done.
3.05 making decisions in the face of uncertainity
Sergei Grinkov, an Olympic gold medalist figure skater, suddenly collapsed and died during a practice session at age 28. He was found to have been born with a mutation in a single gene that affects blood clot formation, causing clots to form in the wrong places and leading to his unexpected heart attack. The document discusses how all diseases have both genetic and environmental factors that influence risk and how identifying genetic risks can help enable prevention strategies.
3.03 molecular medicine comes of age
Molecular medicine is advancing as scientists sequence disease-related genes to better understand and treat disease. Physicians will tailor drug prescriptions based on genetic differences in how people respond to treatment. Determining the molecular structure of disease genes allows scientists to develop new treatment strategies by applying this genetic knowledge. As understanding of human genetic variation improves, diagnosis and treatment of diseases by physicians will change substantially.
3.01 alike, but not the same
This document discusses human genetic variation and how scientists study it. It covers several key points:
- Genetics is the study of inherited variation in humans. Studying human genetics helps us understand ourselves as well as treat diseases.
- Scientists use techniques like transmission genetics, cytology, molecular analysis and DNA microarrays to study genetic variation.
- While humans share much of our genetic information, no two individuals (except identical twins) have the same complete genetic makeup. There is natural genetic variation among humans.
- Understanding genetic variation is important for medicine to promote health and treat diseases. It also raises ethical issues that society must address.
