My friends in the business world are wined and dined all the time. Why should doctors be held to a different (higher) standard than business people?

A. Because the doctor-patient relationship, unlike many (but not all) business relationships--but like that between a lawyer-client or congressperson-citizen, is a fiduciary relationship. A fiduciary is someone with specialized skills or knowledge; holds the trust and confidence of others; is accountable and obligated both ethically and legally; who is held to a higher standard of conduct, and who therefore avoids conflicts of interest.

All of these characteristics pertain to physicians. Though some may see medicine as “just a business,” clearly—at the present time at least—patients, and society do not see it this way: Patients rightly expect their physician to act in their (the patient’s) best interest. Patients do not enter the examining room caveat emptor.

Patients should be confident that the drug being is prescribed is the best, the most cost-effective, not the best promoted. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
