As one of my co-workers says about anything or anyone that stupid - "That's bullshit!"

Good for those doctors!

... What about medical integrity? Oi. They're doctors first, I would think, and journalists second.

You know, it would be one thing if the network was using clips from these incidents in shameless self-promotion ploys(which maybe they are? I don't know), because the point should be "Look at the state Haiti is in", not "Look at how awesome our medical correspondents are", but even then that's a problem with CNN, not with the DOCTORS who are just being DOCTORS.

Please tell me that the next sentence of the article was "The aforementioned media ethicists can now shut the fuck up."

[pockycrusader]

Don't doctors, like, take an oath that if they see a situation where they could help, they HAVE to?

The media ethicists clearly didn't speak to any medical ethicists before releasing a public statement.
