Flashcard 9: A drug company offers a "referral fee" for every patient a physician enrolls in the study.
Answer: This is unethical. Physicians should not accept \"referral fees\" or \"finder's fees\" for enrolling patients in a study. Compensation should only be for actual work performed (e.g., administrative costs, time) and must be disclosed to the patient.
Extra: Accepting money simply for a referral creates a conflict of interest, potentially compromising the physician's objectivity and the patient's best interest. Ethical guidelines (e.g., AMA) require disclosure of any financial interests in research to patients.
Flashcard 10: You order an invasive test for the wrong patient.
Answer: No matter how serious or trivial, a physician is obligated to inform a patient that an error has been made.
