Topic: Letter of The Law / Is ethics missing from training programs? As a healthcare provider in corrections, I have found the imperative “to do no harm” difficult when dealing with some officers in treating inmates as patients. A class which stresses ethics should be a requirement for all staff, including medical. Any attempt at rehabilitation will fail without models of ethical behavior in the prison environment. I’m not suggesting “mollycoddling” at all but I do think prison provides an excellent opportunity to “manage up” some of the population. |
