AB  - Treat  patients  and  families  with  the  grace  and  consideration  you  would  want  for  your  family.The  goal  of  informed  consent  is  to  maximize  the  ability  of  the  patient  to  make  substantially  informed  autonomous  decisions.Physicians  are  obligated  to  protect  patient  information  from  unauthorized  and  unnecessary  disclosure.Patients  with  limited  decision-making  capacity  should  participate  in  decision  making  to  the  extent  their  capacity  permits.Competent  patients  have  a  virtually  unlimited  right  to  refuse  life-sustaining  medical  treatment.The  risk  of  liability  for  honoring  properly  documented  do-not-resuscitate  (DNR)  orders  is  no  more  than  the  risk  of  not  honoring  it.Patients  opting  for  goal-directed  perioperative  DNR  orders  usually  choose  to  authorize  temporary  therapeutic  interventions  to  manage  easily  reversible  events.Anesthesiologists  face  conflicts  of  interest  in  daily  practice  from  production  pressure,  interactions  with  industry,  and  safety  and  quality  care  initiatives.  Anesthesiologists  need  to  recognize  potential  conflicts,  characterize  the  potential  severity  of  the  conflict,  and  determine  the  likelihood  and  resultant  harm  of  the  influence  or  the  appearance  of  influence.The  discipline  of  medical  ethics  provides  expertise  in  recognizing,  analyzing,  and  managing  ethical  dilemmas.Anesthesiologists  are  obligated  to  "own"  the  advancement  and  advocacy  of  all  things  anesthesiology.
