Professional Responsibility

• When we hire a plumber we expect him or her to fix the problem, not make it worse
• When we go to a doctor we expect him or her to help us
• We don't expect the doctor to call for unnecessary tests to pad the bill
• Or to do us harm
• We live in a world of great complexity
• We depend on many services
  • Doctors
  • Dentists
  • Pharmacists
  • Accountants
• And on many technologies
  • Cars
  • Plumbing
  • Heating Systems
  • Computers
• All of these rely on highly trained professionals
• Like all of you hope to become some day
• We trust these people because we believe they have a sense of what they should and shouldn't do
• That they have a sense of professional responsibility
