Abstract:
This article presents three clinical scenarios that might be encountered in ambulatory pediatrics. The framework for ethical analysis presented by Dr Hughes in a separate article in this issue of the Journal is used to examine these clinical scenarios and demonstrate application of the framework. The three cases involve a physician being asked by parents to write a letter for better housing that would require the doctor to be dishonest; parents who decline to have their 8-month-old daughter vaccinated; and a physician who believes contraception is a sin and therefore would not prescribe it to a sexually active 17-year-old girl.
