Synopsis

Excerpt from Extracts From the Medical Ethics, or a Code of Institutes and Precepts, Adapted to the Professional Conduct of Physicians and Surgeons, in Private or General Practice

XVII. When a physician attends the wife or child of a member of the faculty, or any person very nearly connected with him, he should manifest peculiar at. Tention to his opinions, and tenderness even to his pre judices. For the dear and important interests which the one has at stake, supercede every consideration of rank or seniority in the other; since the mind of a bus band, a father, or a friend, may receive a deep 'and lasting wound, if the disease terminate fatally, from the adoption of means he could not approve, or the rejec tiori of those he wished to be tried. Under such deli fate circumstances, however, a conscientious physician will not lightly sacrifice hisjudgment; but will urge, with proper confidence, the measures he deems to be expedient, before he leaves the final decision concern ing them to his more responsible coadjutor.
