Ethics is the foundation of any society or civilization. Without ethics, life would become law of jungle. Medical ethics includes the moral principles that guide the members of the medical profession when dealing with their profession. From the days of Hippocrates there are codes of conduct for the doctors: which are violated often & has lowered the professional value bringing misery to the patients. Meditation, if practiced by the physicians, can change to good ethics.
