Ethical dilemmas in health care practice

Reference no: EM1388305

Practitioners personal value systems may differ from that of the ethics system for their chosen profession. Can you determine a scenario that might develop a conflict between practioner's personal values and the generally accepted values of profession they have chosen? For example, the practitioner is an MD who is a very strict Catholic and a patient is asking them about abortion as an option to end a rape pregnancy. I realize that is a very extreme, very obvious, example. Please describe a scenario that might occur in your everyday chiropractic or acupuncture office setting? Also, comment on another students scenario as well.
