Re: ADVICE TO DOCTORS REGARDING PAIN MANAGEMENT

Perhaps they should read their own words, and if not willing to follow them maybe a career change is in order...

"THE PRINCIPLES OF MEDICAL ETHICS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS"



The principal objective of the ethical physician in his practice is to treat human illness while maintaining the highest respect for the dignity of his patient.

(1) The physician's first professional obligation is to his patient, then to his profession. His ethical obligation to his community is the same as that of any other citizen.



(4) The physician should not dispose of his services under terms or conditions which tend to interfere with or impair the free and complete exercise of his medical judgment and skill or tend to cause a deterioration of the quality of medical care."
