Responding to the failings of peers can be difficult, but as\nprofessionals physicians should not leave the moral management of errant\ncolleagues to chance. Distinguishing levels of adverse outcomes helps\nphysicians more clearly assess each others' conduct and respond appropriately\nto those who threaten the integrity of the profession....Physicians'\nobligations of fidelity include protecting patients from substandard\ncolleagues -- by not referring the patient to a colleague whom one knows to be\nunethical or incompetent, and by removing or reforming unsuitable\ncolleagues....The important question is not how prevalent a physician's\npractices are, but whether there are respected physicians who agree with\nhim....The medical profession as a whole needs to develop a more constructive\napproach to error than the punitive, litigation-wary atmosphere that currently\nprevails
