When you see your doctor or lawyer, there is a difference. You must trust these men to do all -they can for you in the light of their knowledge and experience. You DO trust them because you know that they and their colleagues are governed by a code of ethics. A CODE of medical ethics has been put into definite terms, because situations can arise between doctor and patient where the position is not clear apd honest mistakes can be made. The code is a great help in guiding doctors at such times.

Almost everyone has heard of the great Hippocratic Oath, which was actually the first code of medical ethics. Each doctor repeats this oath when he receives his degree, swearing to By the Editor or the Vancouver Medical Bulletin "Ethics" is a word derived from the Greek, meaning a code of moral principles. You may ask why there should be any special code for medical men, isince they Should certain- fly work from the same basis of honesty, charity and un selfishness that is the ideal code of conduct for everyone. ACTUALLY medical ethics refers to a code of professional conduct of the type that applies to other professions. The law, for example, has a high code of ethics.

These codes are necessary because the services of a professional man differ from those of, say, a merchant. When you buy, a pair of shoes, Burgess Bedtime 9 patients. It also forbids a doctor to make money out of prescriptions, the sale of appliances, secret remedies and so on. A doctor, it states, may only charge a patient for actual work done, and must be ready at all times to itemize and thoroughly justify such charges. THE PATIENT is protected against extortion or deceit in any form, as the doctor is not permitted commissions on drugs, dressings, or other commodities.

Fee-splitting is considered unethical. In addition to making specific mention of acts which are considered unethical, the code sets up a standard of conduct in general that every doctor is expected to follow. It is necessary because through its presence the great majority of doctors have something that gives them confidence in dealing with each other and with the public. It also operates as a deterrent to those very few men who might be tempted to go beyond the code in their work. Next week we'll see how the code operates in its two other areas.

act honestly and generously, to observe the law, and so on. However, complications of a complicated age have meant that our code must be expanded to meet modern situations and meet them specifically. The code of ethics has been worked out by the profession itself, and Is somewhat separate from the laws governing medi-cjne as spelled out in the Medical Act. However, unethical practices can result in discipline, and much of the code has come to be considered as law by doctors themselves. OUR CANADIAN Medical Association code of ethics deals really with three things: relations between doctor and patient, between doctors themselves, and between doctors and the public at large.

In the first area, between doctor and patient, the code lays a responsibility upon the doctor for dealing with the indigent, and also covers the necessity of having an understanding between doctors and patients in respect to professional fees. The code forbids trafficking in Mirror 0 Your Mind By JOSEPH WHITNEY The feathered folk scream at Sammy Jay Farmer Brown's Boy is one of the best friends the Green Forest feathered and furred folk have.

Stories "Greedy! Greedy! Greedy!" the other birds would scream at htm. So it was that when he had had enough to satisfy his hunger he took away as much "as he could carry to make sure that he wouldn't go hungry again. The trouble was he didn't know when to stop. His thrift turned to greed. HE WOULD remember those hungry times and then back he would go for more seeds.

He didn't think of the others. Greedy folks seldom do think of others. The more Sammy had, the more he seemed to want. Greed is always like that. Sharp eyed Tit the Chickadee watched Sammy hide some of those seeds.

Tomrrty would remember where they were. If he should be very, very hungry and there should be no seeds out at Farmer Brown's, Tommy would remember greedy Sammy Jay's hidden stores. It is always good to be thrifty, but never good to be greedy. TIIE PERFECT BEGINNING --t JOIN One of these stations was right at the kitchen window. On a tree close by he kept a big piece of suet.

This was for the Woodpecker folk and Yank Yank the Nuthatch and Tommy Tit the Chickadee, all of whom dearly love suet or other fat in winter. THEN HE ALWAYS put out sunflower seeds and mixed small seeds. Tommy Tit dearly loved those sunflower seeds. So did Yank Yank. So did Linnet the Purple Finch.

So did the lovely Evening Grosbeaks who came only in winter. Now all these folk ate their fill and were satisfied. That is, all but Sammy Jay. Sammy dearly loved those sunflower seeds. He would pick them up as fast as he could move his head.

He didn't swallow them. He didn't open them and eat them as the other birds did. HE JUST STUFFED his throat full of them so that it swelled up as if he had a very sore throat. Then he would fly away with them- In no time at all, he would be back and do the same thing over again. He seemed to think those seeds were put out for him to carry away.

"Greedy! Greedy! Greedy!" the other birds would scream at him. He didn't mind. In the first place, he wasn't afraid of any of them. He was big enough to drive most of them away. What was Sammy doing with all those seeds? He was storing them away.

He had certain hiding places, secret places, and in these he was storing away those seeds. You see Sammy is a thrifty person. In this he is very like Happy Jack Squirrel and Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Sammy believes in making the most" of a good thing. OF COURSE the other birds didn't like that.

They felt he was cheating them. They knew those seeds were not put out just for Sammy Jay. They scolded, but scolding did no good. Sammy was too big, too strong, and he just helped himself to what he wanted, driving the others away. Sometimes he would take as many as 20 sunflower seeds at one time, then be back for more before others had a chance to get more than one or two.

Was Sammy thrifty or just greedy? I suspect he was both. Sammy had known, like all the other feathered folk, what hard times were. There, had not always been food that he could get so easily. less you early have many playmates about during young and formative years, and those ot a high calibre and under close supervision, since your tot Is too likely to hold onto your apron strings and to be a Mom's baby.

Their range usually runs from excellent to good to fair to poor; even very poor. Never all bad. Should fathers participate in infant care? Answer: Most fathers expect to help out during the first few weeks. However, Dr. Brund Bet-telheim of the University of Chicago has misgivings about the changing role of the American father.

He does not deplore the circumstance of a father giving the baby its bottle, but he does deplore the popular attitude that this adds up to fatherhood. He holds that the fulfillment of manhood is achieved by his contribution to "an impulse which is quickened when a re-, sponsible man becomes a father." News LADDER CONTEST R. A.

Do most patients lie Answer: Not intentionally, but many withhold the truth. Patients with no clearly-defined complaints tend to dramatize their distress in terms of overwork, heavy responsibility, etc. Experienced physicians know this1, and often probe out the real cause without the patient being aware of it. For example a patient with emotionally induced headaches may withhold information about family or job troubles until the doctor this stress factor through seemingly casual questioning. Can anyone be all bad? Answer: Too often we tend to think of individuals as being all good or bad, with nothing in between.

Actually the range between good and bad is limitless, and we often harm ourselves and others when we fail to recognize this.
