Abstract
the correct manner of life a person should lead. Closer than priests and lawyers to their clients are the doctors. To be a good doctor one has to have moral integrity and purpose. His high sense of principles should not be altered by the lower consideration of expediency and attempts by others to any course of action that clashes with one’s own ethics and critical judgments.
