The Value of Ethics Education in Surgical Training
Although ethics is not a new concept in the surgical care of patients, the focused attention to ethics education in surgical education is a recent phenomenon. As more options have become available in the treatment armamentarium of surgery, the central question of surgical care has changed from “What can be done for this patient?” to the more modern question, “What should be done for this patient?” To answer this question, surgeons must attend to …
Difficult Decisions in Surgical Ethics
Fair and equitable subject selection in concurrent Covid-19 clinical trials
Clinical trials emerged in rapid succession as the COVID-19 pandemic created an unprecedented need for life-saving therapies. Fair and equitable subject selection in clinical trials offering investigational therapies ought to be an urgent moral concern. Subject selection determines the distribution of risks and benefits, and impacts the applicability of the study results for the larger population. While Research Ethics Committees monitor fair sub…

Impact of Rurality on National Trends in Thyroid Cancer Incidence and Long‐Term Survival
PURPOSE: Thyroid cancer incidence is rising, possibly secondary to increased imaging and surveillance. Based on rural access to care disparities, we hypothesized that incidence would be greater in urban compared to rural counties with no significant difference in long-term survival. METHODS: An observational study was performed on thyroid cancer patients using Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results data (2000-2012). Age-adjusted incidence rate…
How Should Shared Decision Making Be Taught
As the field of medicine shifts from a paternalistic to a more patient-centered orientation, the dynamics of shared decision making become increasingly complicated. International globalization and national socioeconomic differences have added unintended difficulties to culturally sensitive communication between physician and patient, which can contribute to the growing erosion of clinician empathy. This article offers a strategy for teaching stud…
How Should Trauma Patients' Informed Consent or Refusal Be Regarded in a Trauma Bay or Other Emergency Settings
The precipitous and unexpected nature of trauma requires training health care practitioners to think and act quickly, according to the best medical interest of the patient. The urgency of treatment for trauma patients, who frequently have temporary alterations in their abilities to make autonomous and competent decisions, often results in presumed consent for medically necessary treatment. Academic trauma centers use protocol-based management of …
How Should Colleagues Respond to Diminishing Capacities of an Aging Surgeon
When an esteemed elderly colleague needs assistance completing procedures safely, fellow health professionals have the responsibility to respond in order to mitigate risk to patients. There is a strong ethical basis for bringing the surgeon's declining capacity to his or her attention as well as to the attention of others. Ongoing capacity assessments could be one method for tracking diminished capacities among surgeons so that they can stop prac…
Responsible innovation in surgery
Surgical innovation exists in an ethical and regulatory no-man's-land; its inherent risks necessitate careful ethical consideration, but its ad hoc nature makes it less amenable to forms of regulation typically associated with formal research. One solution, which has been proposed in the surgical literature, is to keep a registry of surgical innovation. For numerous reasons, however, such a registry does not currently exist in the USA or elsewher…
When the Evidence Isn't There
been having difficulty urinating and, because he was 68, figured it was just a normal part of the aging process. Eventually, however, Mr. Roberts noticed that he was starting to have pain with urination as well, and went to his physician to get checked out. A few weeks and a biopsy later, Mr. Roberts was told by his physician that he had prostate cancer. Mr. Roberts was frightened and filled with uncertainty. His physician told him not to worry a…
Medical Student in the Middle
Case "This next woman, Ms. West..." Dr. Young said, sighing, his voice trailing off. "...well, it's a sad situation." Dr. Young paused outside the room with Bill, a third-year medical student. "I treated her for stage III cervical cancer two years ago, and I've been following her ever since. Her treatment went very well. We thought we had gotten rid of her cancer, but her latest bone scan revealed a few areas in her thoracic spine that are highly…
Privatization and Cutbacks
Federal and state funding for social services has been drastically reduced in the past 10 years. This qualitative study examined nine agencies in Massachusetts to determine social worker and client impressions of the effects of cutbacks on agency policy and service delivery. The study found increased demands on social workers for higher productivity levels and more documentation; a deterioration of collaborative work environments; an inability to…
