Ethics and the Surgeon

Duties of Surgeons to patients.
A surgeon must maintain the highest professional standards and  practise his profession without a profit motive.
He must:
* Be obligated to preserve human life
* Be loyal to his patients
* Summon a second opinion if a certain type of treatment is outwith his ability
* Maintain confidentiality on his knowledge of patients
* Give emergency care where indicated as a duty unless others are able and willing to administer such care.
