Discipline and Medicine
The WSMA believes a physician should expose, without fear or favor,
incompetent, corrupt, dishonest, or unethical conduct on the part of
members of the profession. The WSMA strongly believes that an ethical
physician will observe the laws regulating the practice of medicine and
will not assist others to evade such laws. (JC 9.04-87; Res 8, B-85)
