Malpractice lawsuits are a growing epidemic. Accompanying this epidemic are issues of conscience for healthcare professionals. In the whirl of social, economic, and legal pulls and pushes, is there a place for today’s health professional to stand? In the midst of moral relativism, where is the foundation of moral immutables upon which one can practice? In a secularized atmosphere, can we look not only for a transcendent moral system but also to a divine Designer of ethics for guidance and help? In the pluralistic crowd of ideas, is there a good model for healthcare practice? The plan for this session is: a) to trace historical and philosophical foundations of objective morality; b) to present an ethical model of the physician-patient relationship; c) to explore how the aforementioned foundations and model apply to medical practice and malpractice; d) and to provide time for discussion and deliberation together. May it be a worthwhile and fruitful time of reflection towards virtuous practice, which can help stanch the flow of malpractice with its attendant complications.
