Problem
Scenario
Dr. Druggemup is widely regarded as little better than a drug pusher. He will write anyone a prescription for anything at just about any time-provided the patient hands over the payment. Repeated denunciation to the State Board of Medical Examiners has done little good. Dr. Druggemup is a member of the board of directors of the hospital, and his group practice is a major supplier of patients to the hospital.
Would it be ethical to ignore Dr. Druggemup's ethical violations in this scenario? Why or why not?
