Medical ethics versus health care crisis

Abstract

Abuses against medical ethics in our country are increasingly frequent and unfortunately the knowledge that doctors themselves have of their obligations is increasingly superficial and lukewarm. In addition, the almost total lack of job certainty, due to an aberrant hiring system, makes these professionals prone to laxity as regards the correct and ironical defense of their ethical obligations. This is how they permanently are forced to choose to retain their position, rather than to reject unethical behavior imposed on them by the State itself and by the Health System.
