RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The positive aspects of medical ethics today. JF Journal of Medical Ethics JO J Med Ethics FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Institute of Medical Ethics SP 122 OP 123 DO 10.1136/jme.10.3.122 VO 10 IS 3 A1 K Boyd YR 1984 UL http://jme.bmj.com/content/10/3/122.abstract AB The author of this comment suggests that some of the important points made by Dr Adrian Rogers are vitiated by a tendency to contrast the worst of modern medical practice with an over-idealised view of the past.
