Ethics have always been an
issue, now-a-days in every field, more so in medicine. When we repeatedly speak
of ethics, means we are stepping out frequently. If not checked at right times,
some of the actions of the professionals become objectionable by public. It is
unfortunate, that professionals take oath, more as ritual than a conscious
affirmation. This is seen in every sphere; public or private, proportions may
vary.
Recently, from Harvard to
Stanford a notable instruction was sent out to medical professionals, banning
them from receiving samples, participation on behalf of pharmaceuticals as
promoters of their products etc. This is welcomed by all, though not totally.
The issue of ethics is only a small part but the umpteen numbers of related
issues that amount to intellectual or monetary corruption. It may be rude to
conclude and many professionals are innocent and see only the scientific part
of it. It is not universal, the higher the cadre, greater is their role in the
promotion of a given product. What is that Professionals who indulge get,
pleasure trips, rewards, continuous support of the company, including some
personal gains. Managements of Harvard noticed the malady of such practices.
Weeks of absence from the place of work by travelling to several places across
the continents, promoting the products cause serious inconvenience to the
services.
Apart from this is the
greatest damage caused by identification of the said professionals with some
companies. Let us not dwell on the quality of the products, which is a
different issue. Medical professionals opting to write protocols, promotional
literature, release product information, and above all making some claims that
are intended to attract peers, are all questioned by both public and
colleagues. The image of the entire professional fraternity is at stake
sometimes. To have a bias for a product may not be objectionable but selection
and dropping any product irrationally creates problems. This is not restricted
to drugs, but to many biomedical equipment, disposables, catheters etc.
Medical ethics is categorical
in admonishing such practices.
But, unfortunately, they
continue in some form or other. For example advertising, particular
professional or services as information is different from publishing photos and
pictures. Medical Profession is noble, no doubt, are the professionals noble?,
is the question asked by public. As responsible citizens, Medical professionals
need to practice and project up-right personality. In Greek, persona means,
Mask, at the same time, Persona in Latin is divine. I do not know what becomes
applicable in this situation.
