Do you feel as if Medical Ethics are a thing of the Past?

We have MARKET ECONOMY. Which means people base their choice of occupation in large part on what kind of money they can make.\nThink about it. \nSay, a Baker opens a bakery and his ONLY reason is to make money. He produces the best baked goods he can, and tries to provide a superior service to keep customers coming back.\nThe end result for the client is that he gets good breads and cakes at good price and with a nice service. So WHY should he care if the baker does not really like baking and only does it for money?\n\nSo why should a doctor be any different from a baker? If his service is good -- do you REALLY care about his motivation?

Sometimes I wonder if it is me. Thanks for your question. I don't feel so outdated anymore.

Yes I do. I don't know where this feeling comes from: I always think about the indians, dreams about them, and it's like I know everything about them. I don't know where these knowledges comes from. I feel like I have two souls in my body. I am not a native-american and I don't see (in my conscious state) that I have an interest for this culture but there is something deep inside of me that fight against me to lead me to this culture. Sometimes, I feel like that I have to accomplish something for them in this century but I don't know what, I am not interested in that but something deep inside on me is calling me. This doesn't make any sense because this is not my culture but I know things about hem that I have never read or learn anywhere.

I do sometimes. Sometimes it's an image just as I'm waking. Other times it's a strong feeling. There have been planes and buses and cars I've had a bad feeling about getting into and every time I listened to it and didn't get in, I was fine but there was an accident or a crash and I would've been in it.\nThe one time I didn't listen to my feeling about a plane, I was in a plane crash (small plane, a Cessna). \n2 & 1/2 years ago I ignored my feeling about a car and was in a car accident not 10 minutes later (hit from behind while stopped at a stop light). \nWhen I've ignored my feelings about people, I've suffered terribly and so have some other people in my life. When I listen, I do fine and so do those I care about and the person I had the bad feeling about turns out to be a bad person. Sometimes it takes a while to find out, but I always find out my feelings are right.\n\nYears ago, I had a bad feeling that something big was going to go wrong with my parents' vehicle. I'd been right about enough things (including a premonition about a crack in the foundation of their old house which was proven to the exact spot to be right years later when the wallboard and drywall were removed when there was a leak) and because I'd been right so many times, my parents traded in the vehicle at a dealership for another. \nTwo days later the dealership phoned my Father and demanded he take back their old vehicle. It now had a serious, major, expensive to fix problem in the motor. My Father said the dealership's mechanics had checked it over and found it fine two days earlier when they accepted it and that they'd done the trade fair and square. Then he hung up and smiled and me and told me I'd been right again.\n\nI've also had dreams about events that have come to pass, but I don't have these dreams often, not like the Medium show, and I don't communicate with the dead or anything like that.\n\nI think I've just learned to trust my instincts, which is something more people need to learn to do.

Sure have been there and over the years it still pops up from time to time.  I don't know if there is a medical term for it.  I found it happens when I feel very unsure of what to do and how to do.  Like watching a movie and even be able to replay some of it.  very strange.

I was told I was very spiritual in several of them.  I can't see it myself but I had a reading done by some VERY skilled people.\n\nIt's kind of cool to see what you once were-even though it has no bearing on what you're doing now.  Sometimes it can explain why you feel a certain way when you have no good reason for it.\n\nOh, yeah, be careful who you talk to about this because (as you can see by certain answers) some get pretty rude.\n\nI'd be wary of those who tell you that you were some famous person in a past life.  What are the chances of that?  It may be possible but certainly not likely.  None of my readings were of a famous person-I was just an ordinary person who never made the history books. :)

I know that i am not that old (21 years old), but when i start thinking about like the past that can make me feel old. i just keep thinking damn where did the time go. But like the other person said you are as old as you feel, so unless you are like 80-100 years of age you are still young. i think!

Yes and yes.  On more than one occasion I have either seen, heard, or felt the spirit of someone who had passed.  A little boy use to visit me at regular intervals.  He would stand next to my bed until I would sense him and open my eyes.  He would smile, then disappear.  I haven't seen him since my second son has been born.  We smell smoke every time my wife's grandfather is near.  In our old house, there were cold spots that moved around the house.  Our cats would move around the spots like they were trying to avoid running into someone.  I watched two surgeries being preformed on myself and was even able to give details and repeat parts of conversations and actions of the doctors and nurses.

The answer is no.....we are working in a career that is a sacred responsibility and trust.  There are some sick poeple in this field as there are in any, but the overwhelming majority of healthcare professionals are there with a genuine desire to do only good and help those who cant help themselves when they are down and need support and care the most.  For me when I have patient contact it is from a position of compasion and caring.  The necessity of contact is usually for diagnostic purposes or to calm and sooth.  At some points after many years of education in anatomy and physiology it actually seems sometimes like working on a car.  Plus consider that most of the times when we are in contact with the areas mentiond it is becasue of a disease process.....even the most warped of healthcare providers could not be turned on by that.

No. I feel like I'm getting older, and stupider!\nOh, the things I used to think and dream up when I was younger! Curse old age! Die die die! >:D

I believe in today's day and age we see people coming back to life after being dead many, Many times!  However, we no longer see it as a miracle but as an act of science, medicine, etc.  I've seen people how have dead from very minor things and others how should be dead (and some that has) and then they end up coming back and being perfectly fine again.  I think the human race is taking to much credit for that and calling it good medicine and I am a firm believer that it's not ONLY good medicine but also a GREAT God!!

Definitely!  I think because we play so many different roles in life, sometimes we feel like different people.  It is important though to keep in touch with your own personal values, morals and priorities so that when you "people switch" you are still you!

Doctors are bound by both the law, their ethical oath, and their own moral compass.  Doctors in this story are placing the privacy of their patient before the interests of the people.  The courts will sort it out.

Well, I am. But I've had a long time to perfect it. That said, I think true happiness is a choice. But I also agree with the writer who states it's just what people say to be polite. You ask someone how they are and unless you are their doctor, you really don't want to hear about the pain in their left side...

Nope.  I have 60+ years of trivia floating around in my head in addition to that many years life experience.\n\nIf I do feel the need, I google.

Hi, I can get the way you now feel, because its such a long time you have been in the same place (like may be home or hospital), so you feel that the whole world has left you behind and is moving far ahead. So, start to read newspapers, magazines and try to debate on the topics with people you meet, and try to get their views and ideas, which will familiarise you with them and get a feel that you are one among them. Good luck.
