AB The  position  of  clinician  is  one  of  privilege.  Patients  entrust  clinicians  with  the  most  intimate  details  of  their  lives,  and  society  rewards  them  with  prestige,  job  stability,  and  a  decent  standard  of  living.  With  this  privilege  comes  responsibility.  Patients  expect  support,  understanding,  explanation,  relief  from  their  symptoms  and/or  cure  of  their  ailments,  and  society  expects  clinicians  to  act  in  the  best  interest  of  their  patients,  subordinating  their  own  self-interest.1
