  note MEDICAL ETHICS IS A PERSONAL IDEAL
       SUSTAINED BY CLINICIANS THAT ACCEPT THE
  FIDUCIARY DUTY TO SOLELY DEDICATE THEIR EFFORTS
  TO PROMOTE THE RESTITUTION OF THE HEALTH OF A PATIENT
  IRRESPECTIVE OF PERSONAL GAIN
  note AN ETHICAL HUMANITARIAN PHYSICIAN
       IS NOT IN BUSSINESS and can not obide by
  "CAVEAT EMPTOR" or "CONSUMER BE AWARE" belief
  A PHYSICIAN ACCEPTS AND BECOMES
  THE TRUSTEE or HOLDER OF TRUST OF A PATIENT
  thus THE MEDICAL PROFESSION PROFESSES
       THE CAVEAT EMPTOR PRINCIPLE AS ROOTED IN THE
  HIPPOCRATIC [#] OATH
  " I SWEAR BY APOLLO THE PHYSICIAN
  BY AESCULAPIUS HYGEIA AND PANACEA ...
  I WILL PRESCRIBE REGIMEN FOR THE GOOD ...
  NEVER TO HARM TO ANYONE ...
  NOR GIVE ADVICE WHICH MAY CAUSE DEATH ...
  I WILL KEEP SECRET AND NEVER REVEAL ... "
