Each District Society shall transmit to the State Society an abstract of its proceedings; and no By- Law or regulation of any District Society shall be valid if it come in competition with or be repugnant to the regulations of the General Society. 11 POLICE.* SECTION I. CONSULTATIONS. Consultations should be encouraged in all difficult or protracted cases, as, when properly conducted, they increase confidence in the attending Physician, and tend to create more enlarged views in his practice. No feeling of rivalship or jealousy should be indulged. Candor, justice, and all due respect should be mani- fested toward the Physician in attendance, and as he may be presumed to be best acquainted with the patient and family,he should deliver all the directions, and perform the necessary operations, unless he or the patient requests otherwise. The consulting Physician should never visit without the attending one, unless by the desire of the latter, or when, as in sudden emergency, he is not to be found. No discussion of the case should ever take place in the presence of the patient or his friends, and no opinions delivered which are not the result of previous consultation and concurrence. AH theoretical debates should be avoided, as occasioning perplexity and loss of time; as there may be much diversity of opinion on speculative points, with perfect unanimity as to the mode of treatment. Whatever may be their pri- vate opinion of each other, Physicians in consultation should endeavor to divest themselves of all prejudice, and admit of no other consideration than what will most effectually contribute to the relief of the case submitted to their care. If a Physician's mind be Selected with but few variations from Peroival's. Medical Ethicks. 12 not open to conviction, from whatever source it may come, he should in honor decline the consultation. All debates and discussions should be strictly con- fidential, and in consultation visits, the most scrupulous punctuality should be observed as to time. SECTION II. INTERFERENCES. Medicine is a liberal profession, and. the members of it are expected to be men of refinement and edu- cation. Success in business should therefore depend on merit, not on artifice or insinuation. Certain un- definable assiduities and attentions to families usually employing another, should be considered beneath the dignity of a regular Physician, as making a mere trade of a learned profession. All officious interferences in cases of sickness of such families, evince a meanness of disposition unbecoming the character of a practition- er or gentleman. No meddling inquiries should be made concerning them, nor hints given relative to their nature and treatment, nor any selfish conduct pursued that may directly or indirectly tend to weaken confidence in the Physician or Surgeon who has the care of them. When a Physician or Surgeon is called to a patient, who has been under the care of another, he should ascertain, before any examination of the case, whether the other still continues his visits, and whether the patient considers himself under his care: in which case, he is not to assume the charge of the patient, nor to give advice, (excepting in instances of sudden attack) without a regular consultation: and if such previously attending Physician has discontinued his visits, and the patient does not consider himself under his care, his practice should be treated with candor, 13 and justified so far as probity and truth will admit: for the want of success in the primary treatment of the disorder, is no impeachment of professional skill and knowledge. It frequently happens, that a Physi- cian, in incidental communications with the patients of others, or with their friends, may have their cases stated to him in so direct a manner, as not to admit of his declining to give an opinion. Under such cir- cumstances, his observations should be delivered with the most delicate propriety and reserve. He should not interfere in the curative plans pursued, and should even recommend a steady adherence to them, if they appear to merit approbation. SECTION III. DIFFERENCES. As diversity of sentiment and collision of interest may in the Medical, as in other Professions, occasion controversy and sometimes even contention; when- ever such cases unfortunately occur, as cannot be amicably adjusted by the parties themselves, they should be referred to the Council or arbitration of some brethren of the Profession, mutually to be agreed on, but neither the subject of such reference nor the adjudication should be made public, as all such con- troversies are personally injurious to the character of the individuals concerned, and what is of more con- sequence, discreditable to the Profession. 2 14 SECTION IV. DISCOURAGEMENT OF QUACKERY. The use of Quack remedies should be discouraged, not only as destructive to health and life, but as dis- graceful to the Profession. No regular Physician should use or recommend a secret nostrum, whether it be his own or the invention of others. If it be of real efficacy, the concealment is inconsistent with beneficence and professional liberality, and if mystery alone can give it value and importance, such craft implies either disgraceful ignorance or fraudulent avarice. SECTION V. FEES. General rules should be adopted by neighboring Physicians relative to the pecuniary acknowledgments of their patients; and it should be deemed a point of honor to adhere to them; any deviation from or evasion of such rules should be considered as meriting the censure of the Profession. Gratuitous services to the poor are in all cases expected. The characteristic beneficence of the Profession is inconsistent with sordid views or avaricious rapacity. The diseased poor of every description should be objects of our peculiar care. Dr. Boerhaave said they were his best patients, as God was their paymaster. SECTION VI. EXEMPTION FROM CHARGES. All members of the Profession should be attended gratuitously, but visits should not be obtruded offi- 15 ciously, as such civility might create embarrassment by interfering with that choice on which confidence depends. Nevertheless, distant members are expected to defray the expense of travel; and such of the cler- gy as possess the means of making a reasonable re- muneration for medical services, are not considered more privileged than any other order of patients. 16 MEMBERS.
