There are some signs that the medical profession’s code of silence is retreating, but a recent Journal of the American Medical Association survey of 2,000 doctors reveals that only 64 percent of doctors agreed that they had an ethical obligation to report colleagues who were “significantly impaired or otherwise incompetent to practice.”
Seventeen percent of doctors replied that they knew of a doctor so incompetent or impaired that the doctor should not be practicing.
