PODCAST: Doctors, Money and Conflicts of Interest

Medical Ethics – Ever on Guard

***
By Aaron Carroll MD, MS
 ***
I’m a doctor. My father is a doctor. My colleagues are doctors, the people I train are doctors, lots and lots of my friends are doctors.
 ***
But, that doesn’t meant that doctors sometimes aren’t blind to certain issues like their own financial conflicts of interest. Sometimes we have to poke doctors with a stick. That’s how we show our love.
 ***
Conflicts of interest are the topic of this Healthcare Triage video.
