    MEDICAL ETHICS; OR. A CODE OF INSTITUTES AND PRECEPTS, ADAPTED TO THE PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS. CHAPTER I. OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT, RELATIVE TO HOSPITALS, OR OTHER MEDICAL CHARITIES. I. Hospital physicians and surgeons should minister to the sick, with due impres- sions of the importance of their office; reflect- ing that the ease, the health, and the lives of those committed to their charge depend on their skill, attention, and fidelity. They should study, also, in their deportment, so to unite tenderness with steadiness, and conde- scension with authority, as to inspire the minds of their patients with gratitude, respect, and confidence.
