Medical ethics deals with moral principles that guide clinical practice and relationships. It considers the choices and actions of both medical practitioners and patients in light of duties and obligations. There are several core principles of medical ethics including respect for patient autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, confidentiality, and veracity. These principles guide informed consent processes and the patient-practitioner relationship. Upholding ethics is important for maintaining trust between the medical field and society.
The presentation explains the principles of medical ethics and describes important terms on the subject. Brief descriptions of codes of medical ethics are covered but for details actual documents may be referred.
Medical Ethics is what every physician and healthcare worker should know. We need to understand Ethics and its application in various cultures, societies and its changes according to norms and values. Once society will be given health education regarding Medical Ethics many issues can be resolved in a decent manner. It ultimately gives a very positive impression of all the actions which a healthcare worker performs otherwise at times seems inappropriate by society. This is not for the sake of healthcare worker or for the patients it is primarily for the whole community.
What are the rights of patient? role of ethical committee and parameters of a physician all need to be addressed properly.

First of two presentations from Autonomy and Qatalyst (Qattrone) pitching the company to Oracle and others, downloaded from Oracle's site and preserved here in case Oracle takes these presentations down again
Here I am trying to explain how Medical Negligence and Medical Ethics are interlinked and why doctors must do all they can to defend our ethics. I am sharing case history, every day clinical examinations and management of common illness to explain why they are unethical medical practice.
Since I published a letter in 1996, critisising the use of preprinted assessment sheet, allowing nurses to work like doctors in the NHS(UK), the number of deaths, complications and wrong doings has escalated to catastrophic proportions. Doctors who continue to work are suffering in silence. The ones who raised concern were systamatically harassed, bullied and ostracised.
The institutions, associations, nursing council and the Royal Colleges and the WMA have ignored their duty to protect fellow human. I do not think we can claim to be members of a "Noble Profession" if we allow this un-ethical medical practice continues.
The General Medical Has not only ignored their duty to protect fellow human but also discriminated doctors passing out from Non-European medical schools by allowing nurses to work like doctors. This institution has failed to define the word "Doctor" and has inflicted pain and suffering to doctors who defend their moral and ethical duty.
Our profession and our lives are threatened by emerging and antibiotic resistant infections. We must join hands and defend our profession. By allowing nurses with no medical school training or skill to clinically examine patients to diagnose and prescribe drugs, we have failed to protect fellow human who trust our profession. This is substandard, un-ethical medical practice that has brought us shame must be stopped.
Please leave your comments and criticise me if I am wrong. As a Hindu Brahmin, it is my religious duty to defend "Dharma", protect the sick and vulnerable. Please watch this presentation and ask your self have you fulfilled your promise and are you defending your faith?
Medical ethics have witnessed evolution since the ancient times of Hammurabi (1750 BC), Hippocrates (450 BC), passing through the 9th century Islamic scholars al Ruhawi الروحاوي and al Razi الرازي till modern day. Islamic medical ethics are based on Islamic principles and morals. This presentation is an attempt to shed light on Islamic medical ethics regarding modern day issues like consent, breaking bad news, resuscitation and abortion. It is based on the “Code of Ethics for Healthcare Practitioners" published by the Saudi Council For Health Specialties (SCFHS). It was presented in Al Hammadi Hospital-Suwaidi in Riyadh, KSA as part of the hospital's educational programme by the author.

THE CASE OF DAVID Z. AND AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS)
David, who has suffered with ALS for 20 years, is now hospitalized in a private religious hospital on a respirator. He spoke with his physician before he became incapacitated and asked that he be allowed to die if the suffering became too much for him. The physician agreed that, while he would not give David any drugs to assist a suicide, he would discontinue David’s respirator if asked to do so. David has now indicated through a prearranged code of blinking eye movements that he wants the respirator discontinued. David had signed his living will before he became ill, indicating that he did not want extraordinary means keeping him alive.
The nursing staff has alerted the hospital administrator about the impending discontinuation of the respirator. The administrator tells the physician that this is against the hospital’s policy. She states that once a patient is placed on a respirator, the family must seek a court order to have him or her removed from this type of life support. In addition, it is against hospital policy to have any staff members present during such a procedure. After consulting with the family, the physician orders an ambulance to transport the patient back to his home, where the physician discontinues the life support.

Introduction
Few topics are as important as the physician–patient relationship. This relationship impacts the entire healthcare team. All healthcare professionals who interact with the patient must understand their responsibilities to both the patient and the physician. The patient’s right to confidentiality must always be paramount.
The first physicians were “medicine men,” witch doctors, or sorcerers. The physician–pa.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

3. • Ethics does NOT decide what is morally right
or wrong; rather it considers how we should
act best in the light of our duties and
obligations as moral agents
• Ethics deals with the choices we make and
our actions in relation to those choices.
• It deals with choices made by both clinicians
and patients.
• Medical ethics also deals with the choices
made by society.

students from the beginning,
even before they set foot in
hospitals, to maintain a
professional rapport with
patients, uphold patients’

19. When a Doctor May Dismiss a
Patient
•Patient non-compliance
•Patient's failure to keep

right to refuse the doctor if
the doctor treated the pateint
unethically and also can
report the physician
21. THE PHYSICIAN-PHYSICIAN RELATIONSHIP

responsibility to maintain
moral integrity, intellectual
honesty, and clinical
competence.
2. Physicians, as stewards of
medical knowledge, have
an obligation to educate
and share information with
colleagues, including
physicians-in-training.
22. THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PHYSICIAN TO SYSTEMS OF CARE
1. The physician's duty of patient should not be altered by
the system of health care delivery in which the physician
practices.
2. Physicians should resolve conflicts of interest in a fashion
that gives primacy to the patient’s interests
3. Physicians should provide knowledgeable input into
organizational decisions on the allocation of medical
resources and the process of health care delivery.
23. THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PHYSICIAN TO SOCIETY
1. Physicians have a responsibility
to serve the health care needs
of all members of society.

24. GETTING PAID
Dealing With Patients Who Don’t Pay
The way your office staff handles payment problems with
patients reflects on your entire practice, and the outcome can
have a significant effect on your staff’s satisfaction and your
bottom line. Here are a few tips for helping your staff manage
difficult situations.
25. When patients don’t want to make
their co-pays
(“My insurance company pays you. Why
do I have to pay too?”)
for example, that the insurance
company allows $42 for the
service (despite the fact that your
full fee is $50) and pays you $32
because the patient’s health
insurance contract says he owes
a $10 co-pay at each visit.
26. When patients say they can’t pay
You and your staff
have probably heard
these excuses a
million times: “I don’t
have my checkbook
[or cash or a credit
card]” or “I lost my
checkbook.”
30. When patients get angry
•Train your staff to listen first.
Once the patient has calmed down,
your staff member should assure the
patient.
•Make sure your staff follows up with
the patient.
•Encourage your staff to not take the
patient’s anger personally.
