GROUP #12 (PHYSICIANS WITH DUAL OBLIGATIONS)
Copyright 2011 by Professor Omar Hasan Kasule Sr
Case #43: A worker sustained severe injury while at work. Under pressure from the management, a company physician refused to certify disability qualifying the worker for a hefty compensation. The worker sued the employer. While the case is still in court the worker died and the physician refused to certify that gangrene of the injured hand contributed to his death.
Case #44: A national football team physician examined a player and found that he had a chronic shoulder dislocation and advised that he should not play again until it was treated. The player protested because he had always played with that condition since he was young. The team manager threatened to dismiss the physician if he did not certify the player as fit to play because that star player was the only hope of the team to win in an international match the next day.
