Ethical Erosion And The Deafening Silence Of America’s Healthcare ‘Leaders’

Healthcare and the concept of ethical erosion have been intertwined for quite some time. The term ethical erosion refers to the gradual decline in values, beliefs, and truths. This phenomenon is often observed in medical professionals, where empathy and caring may diminish as they progress through their training.

Initially, medical students enter the field with pure intentions of wanting to help people. However, as they undergo the rigorous training and become immersed in the healthcare system, some may become hardened and less empathetic. The once compassionate medical student may eventually fail to connect with their patients on a personal level.

This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, reflections on ethical erosion extend beyond medical professionals to those working on the business side of healthcare. Many individuals, including myself, enter the healthcare industry with the belief that they can make a positive impact on society while also earning a living. However, over time, the authenticity of corporate values may become questionable, and ethical considerations may take a back seat to financial priorities.

As individuals become socialized into the healthcare industry, they may no longer question the societal impact of their decisions. The pursuit of profit and meeting corporate objectives can overshadow ethical considerations. The acceptance of abnormal practices as normal and the avoidance of personal ethical introspection become common.

When confronted with ethical dilemmas, individuals within the healthcare industry may resort to blaming external factors such as a broken system. This deflective behavior allows them to avoid accountability and scrutiny of their own actions. The focus shifts from addressing ethical concerns to maintaining the status quo.

However, small but meaningful changes can be implemented within the existing framework of the healthcare system. It requires a robust ethical framework and a genuine desire to improve. Healthcare leaders, at all levels of an organization, have the potential to drive positive change by anchoring themselves to the core ethics that initially drew them to healthcare.

By embracing their role as drivers of change, healthcare leaders can rebuild trust and work towards providing the public with the healthcare they deserve. Just as a doctor who loses compassion towards their patients should reconsider their role, healthcare leaders who have become resigned or silent in the face of ethical challenges should reassess their responsibilities.

Ultimately, proactive, vocal, and self-reliant leadership within the healthcare industry will be crucial in addressing the current challenges and meeting the needs of the community. By embodying the spirit of leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., healthcare professionals can strive to do the right thing and advocate for positive change within the system.
