| Abstract: | In this paper, I have the intention to point out some ethical problems that we, as junior doctors in primary care, meet often in the exercise of our profession. I UNDERSTAND Medical Ethics as the obligations of a moral nature that govern the practice of medicine. Members of the medical profession are expected both by fellow-doctors and by society to adhere to them. The purpose of ethics in medicine is to create and maintain trust: patient's trust in the practitioner; practitioners' trust in one another; trust of society as a whole in the medical profession. |
