Standards of conduct in any profession reflect the shared values of that profession and define behaviors by its members that are considered either mandatory or proscribed. This chapter will provide an overview of several of the primary aspects of professional conduct and misconduct by physicians, with an emphasis on the neurologist where appropriate. It will start with an overview of the foundations of the physician–patient relationship, then cover topics including initiation of the physician–patient relationship, communication, therapeutic privilege, disclosure of medical errors, empathy and professional boundaries, barriers to care and termination of the physician–patient relationship, conflicts of interest, self-care, deception of third parties, reporting impaired colleagues, and expert testimony.
This book reviews the knowledge corpus about access to civil justice across disciplines and legal traditions and proposes a new research framework for civil justice reform. This framework is intended to foster further critical analysis of the justice system in a systematic and organized way. In particular, the framework underlines the tensions between different values considered as central to the civil justice system, and in doing so potentially allows for conscious, reflected and enlightened choices about the values that are to be prioritized in the reform of justice systems.
