Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Cooney's EMS Medicine AB - There can be no greater calling or higher standard for ethical behavior than that assumed by the physician. Our obligation to our patients is paramount and society expects that we conduct ourselves within this standard. We enjoy great privilege as part of our maintenance of these standards and likewise we are held emphatically to these expectations as well. There is little room for lenience among us when these standards are compromised. This is appropriate as the effect on patients, colleagues, and entire organizations can be profound. Public trust and decades of ethical investment may be compromised by the actions of a single transgressor.
