Ethical challenges in the oral history of medicine are the essence of this article. It is a mark of the contribution of oral history to the history of medicine that studies located within living memory are open to criticism if they fail to include oral history. However, oral history's contribution to the history of medicine is a complex one, and this is highlighted in an exploration of the history of professionals in medicine and medical professions, and in the emergence of the patient's story.

Abstract:
The global market in antiquities has been described as a grey market. We provide a breakdown of the meanings and implications of this greyness. Usually the term refers to the mixing of recently looted antiquities with those that can be sold legally, thus the antiquities market is grey because illicit objects are sold via a public and purportedly legitimate network of dealers and auction houses. This is supported by a second form of greyness: the ethically grey status of individual looted objects after time and their passage through jurisdictions via multiple trades obscures or overwrites their

These circumstances create the conditions for burnout, disengagement, and imperiled patient care. Specifically, they foster powerlessness, frustration, anger, diminished moral responsiveness, disillusionment, and shame. The cumulat

Whether we live in a time of transition, or in a time when bourgeois prosperity is coming to an end, many of us wonder how we might best conduct ourselves.

Cicero reconceptualized virtue as duty, and Adam Smith demonstrated that self-control, or conscience, depends on approbation and condemnation by one’s self and others. The result is an ethical system that makes duty a function of status-position and not just office. Positional ethics makes no universal claims about conduct.
