Abstract

This is the first in a six-part series on general practice ethics. Cases from practice are used to trigger reflection on common ethical issues where the best course of action may not immediately be apparent. The case presented in this article is an illustrative compilation and is not based on specific individuals. The authors have provided a suggested framework for considering the ethical issues to allow practitioners to come to an ethically based conclusion.
