Professional virtue of civility: Responding to commentaries
Professional virtue of civility and the responsibilities of medical educators and academic leaders
Incivility among physicians, between physicians and learners, and between physicians and nurses or other healthcare professionals has become commonplace. If allowed to continue unchecked by academic leaders and medical educators, incivility can cause personal psychological injury and seriously damage organisational culture. As such, incivility is a potent threat to professionalism. This paper uniquely draws on the history of professional ethics i…

John Gregory’s medical ethics elucidates the concepts of compassion and empathy
PURPOSE: This paper draws on eighteenth-century British medical ethics to elucidate compassion and empathy and explains how compassion and empathy can be taught, to rectify their frequent conflation. COMPASSION IN THE HISTORY OF MEDICAL ETHICS: The professional virtue of compassion was first described in eighteenth-century British medical ethics by the Scottish physician-ethicist, John Gregory (1724-1773) who built on the moral psychology of Davi…

Teaching Professional Formation in Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Association of American Medical Colleges has called for a temporary suspension of clinical teaching activities for medical students. Planning for the continued involvement of learners in patient care during this pandemic should include teaching learners professional formation. The authors provide an ethical framework to guide such teaching, based on the ethical principle of beneficence and the professiona…
Managing Care of an Intrapartum Patient with Agitation and Psychosis: Ethical and Legal Implications
Case Ms. S arrived, unaccompanied, at the emergency department of an urban academic hospital in the early evening. She was disheveled and delusional, exclaiming that she had been invaded by an alien force. Because she was obviously pregnant and apparently in labor, she was seen by the obstetrician on call. No useful history could be obtained, and Ms. S did not cooperate with attempts to evaluate the status of her pregnancy
The Professional Responsibility Model and Patient Requests for Nonindicated Early Delivery
Case Jane, at 37 weeks and 3 days gestation in her second pregnancy, is meeting with her obstetrician, Dr. Stevens, for a routine prenatal visit. As the visit is wrapping up, Jane mentions that, due to her work schedule, a week from now would be the best time for her to deliver, and she requests a labor induction during that week. Seeing the curiosity on Dr. Stevens’ face, she says plaintively, “The baby is already full-term, right? Waiting longe…
Directive Counseling about Becoming Pregnant
Physicians, including obstetricians, get themselves into preventable ethical conflict very quickly when they go beyond the limits of the expertise supported by evidence-based reasoning and the scientific and clinical competence it creates
Can Physicians’ Contractual Obligations Limit Their Professional Obligations
Case Dr. Charles, a gastroenterologist, had been volunteering one night per week at a charity clinic that was operated by a group of Roman Catholic physicians and nurses. Although these physicians and nurses started the clinic as a way to live out their Catholic faith, they welcomed volunteer staff members of any faith or no faith who wanted to treat the underserved in their clinic. There were many non-Catholic physicians who volunteered at the c…
Missed Expectations: Physicians’ Views of Patients’ Participation in Medical Decision-Making
OBJECTIVE: Physicians are encouraged to actively involve patients in clinical decision-making, but this expectation has not been adequately examined from the physicians' perspective. Our objective was to identify and characterize physicians' attitudes toward patient participation in decision-making and to gain insight into how they consequently think about and structure the decision-making process. DESIGN: This was a qualitative cross-sectional s…

Cases in Point
The one conclusion in report with which I quarrel is that the use of amniocentesis for sex selection should be discouraged. The Commission acknowledges that scarce resource argument is no longer relevant, and its major objection seems to be that this practice perpetuates a form of gender prejudice that we should work to eliminate. Yet it admits that there is no large demand for this service. Further, it seems to base its fears on sex preference s…
