Medical Ethics for all doctors

Medical Ethic

Medical ethics is primarily a field of applied ethics, the study of moral values and judgments as they apply to medicine. As a scholarly discipline, medical ethics encompasses its practical application in clinical settings as well as work on its history, philosophy, theology, and sociology.
Medical ethics tends to be understood narrowly as an applied professional ethics, whereas bioethics appears to have more expansive concerns, touching upon the philosophy of science and the critique of biotechnology. Still, the two fields often overlap and the distinction is more a matter of style than professional consensus.
Medical ethics shares many principles with other branches of healthcare ethics, such as nursing ethics.

Values in medical ethics
Six of the values that commonly apply to medical ethics discussions are:
Beneficence - a practitioner should act in the best interest of the patient. (Salus aegroti suprema lex.)
Non-maleficence - "first, do no harm" (primum non nocere).
Autonomy - the patient has the right to refuse or choose their treatment. (Voluntas aegroti suprema lex.)
Justice - concerns the distribution of scarce health resources, and the decision of who gets what treatment.
Dignity - the patient (and the person treating the patient) have the right to dignity.
Truthfulness and honesty - the concept of informed consent has increased in importance since the historical events of the Doctors' Trial of the Nuremberg trials and Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

Importance of Public health

Public health is the study and practice of addressing threats to the health of a community. The field pays special attention to the social context of disease and misery, and focuses on improving health through society-wide measures like vaccinations or the fluoridation of drinking water.
The goal of public health is to improve lives through the prevention or treatment of disease. The United Nations' World Health Organization defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." In 1920, C.E.A. Winslow defined public health as "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals."
The public-health approach can be applied to a population of just a handful of people or to the whole human population. Public health is typically divided into epidemiology, biostatistics and health services. Environmental, social, behavioral, and occupational health are also important subfields.

SCIENCE HERO: SIR ALEXANDER FLEMING by Caitlin from Montvale

On a farm in Scotland on August 6, 1881, an amazing person was born. This amazing person was Alexander Fleming. As a boy he roamed the countryside with his 8 siblings who lived with him in a desolate area of Scotland. The Fleming children had a love for the flora, fauna and merry weather that surrounded their farm for miles. "We unconsciously learned a great deal from nature," he said at a later time in his life.
After his father passed away, Alec, who was 14, and 4 siblings moved to London. The eldest brother took over the Fleming's family farm. Tom, a close brother of Alec, started a practice in medicine in London. He strongly encouraged his younger brother to do the same. Alexander went to school and to his disappointment was employed by a shipping firm where he worked for a little while. In 1900 war broke out and 3 of the Fleming boys, including Alec, went to war in South Africa.
Fleming won a scholarship to St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London. He went on and passed exams and completed his medical training at the Royal College of Surgeons in England. In that same year he published a paper on a field he would excel with in the future, immunology. He also wrote more papers on immunology and chemotherapy and original descriptions of lysozyme and penicillin.
Over the next few years he worked in a laboratory of the Royal Army Medical Corps as a doctor in World War I. He saved many lives with his discoveries. He proved pus helps fight diseases and developed a new treatment for a common disease, syphilis. But Alexander made his most important discoveries while he was doing research in the inoculation department at St. Mary's. He proved that an enzyme found in body liquids (tears) called lysozyme had a natural antibacterial effect.
While doing further research, Fleming accidentally made a huge discovery. In his cluttered lab, he saw that in a contaminated lab culture a common mold, like that found on stale bread, was growing. Although that wasn't surprising, what it was doing was! The staph bacteria in the contaminated dishes had been killed around the mold. He called this mold penicillin. Fleming said "One sometimes finds what one is not looking for."
He carefully tested his new creation on animals but without harming them, since he had loved living creatures all his life. His discovery was made in 1929 and was printed in magazines, but raised little interest until World War II when it saved many lives. Today penicillin is used to treat all kinds of bacterial infections.
Fleming received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945, which he shared with Howard Florey and Ernst Chain who finished Fleming's work. He was knighted in 1944. Sir Alexander Fleming died on March 11th in 1955 and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral.
