Introduction
In health care, there are certain ethical codes that health care professionals ought to observe in the process of executing their duties. Patients have their rights and doctors have responsibilities that they are supposed to observe (Beauchamp, Walters, and Kahn, p. 21-2). There is the health care law that guides the activities in this sector to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Professional Codes of ethics
Doctors are trusted by their patients to take them through the medication process (Beauchamp, Walters, and Kahn, p. 25). Sarah trusted Dr. Greg that he was competent and would administer to her the best medication to ease her pain, and even cure her cancer illness. As Sarah’s doctor, Dr. Greg is supposed to keep her updated and provide her with full information on any medications including the outcomes and side effects expected from the drug. Dr. Greg should tell Sarah about the fact that the medication has not been proven, and it is experimental. He also needed to explain the cognitive side effects of the drug and the fact that the medication was meant to increase her life span.
Multiple obligations
Both Sarah and Dr. Greg have multiple obligations that they are supposed to execute for the purpose of reaching an agreement and avoidig future medical complications. The two parties are supposed to implement certain things in order to come to a mutual understanding and ensure that the process of treating the patient is appropriate and successful. Sarah should ask questions she has about the medication to be used. She is also obliged to care about her health and not just to receive medication whose effect is vague to her. She should ask about the effectiveness of her medication. Dr. Greg owes a duty of care to Sarah, his patient. He is supposed to give full information to his patient about her condition and the effectiveness of the medication he wants to administer to her. He has the duty to give a full account of all the side effects of the medication including those that are cognitive.
Greg’s Compliance with Obligations
Dr. Greg complies with his responsibilities as he cares about his patient. He opts to administer to her the experimental medication as his last resort to prolong her life. Furthermore, Dr. Greg complies with his duties when he explains to Sarah the side effects of the new experimental protocol.
Jennifer’s Obligations
Jenifer had to stop Dr. Greg from administering the drug to Sarah. She also had to give a detailed explanation to Greg on the reason against it. Jennifer was supposed to assist Greg in informing Sarah about the drug. She also has to help him seek an alternative medication that will either cure her or increase her life. She should have reported Greg’s breach of code of ethics to the hospital authority in order to protect Sarah. This is when he failed to follow her advice.
Sarah’s Obligation
Sarah is not supposed to participate in the protocol as it may be detrimental to her health considering that there is no enough documentation about the effectiveness of the drug. She may voluntarily want to participate for the sake of herself and other patients with the same disease. However, this is not her responsibility. Sarah has a right to be given the best and appropriate medication, but not being used for experimental purposes without her knowledge and against her own will.
