Aug 7th, 2021 - Babylon 5, like other great sci-fi franchises, touched on important ethical questions.

Aug 1st, 2021 - When providing care, nephrologists are subject to various ethical duties. Beyond the Hippocratic notion of doing no harm, nephrologists also have duties to respect their patients' autonomy and dignity, to meet their patients' care goals in the least invasive way, to act impartially, and, ultimately, to do what is (clinically) beneficial for their patients. Juggling these often-conflicting dutie...
