Medical Ethics
Medical ethics describes the moral principles that doctors must abide by. You
need to understand the concepts of medical ethics, but you don't need to be an
expert. It is worth noting that medical ethics is an ever-changing ideal. What
might be considered ethical 30 years ago may no longer apply today-what we
now think of ethical may change.
Doctors may deal with a great variety of perplexing ethical problems even in a
small medical practice.
