I was on vacation with few of my colleagues last week. One of my colleagues who is a busy surgeon in an eminent hospital was with us. I came to know from him that one day before we left for vacation, he performed two major surgeries and his patients are being looked after by a second surgeon in that hospital who was not involved in the surgery and pre-surgical investigations.

This raised a question in my mind which I would like to share with my esteemed colleagues and respected seniors on this platform. Is it ethical for a surgeon to admit patients under him for surgery when he has already a planned vacation just after the surgery? 0 0 1 125 717 DEXTERFORCE 5 1 841 14.0 96 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Table…
