Ethical Values in Pulmonary and Critical Care
As a Pulmonologist, Critical Care and Medical Specialist, my practice is guided by the principles of integrity, compassion, and respect for human dignity. Every patient has the fundamental right to safe, evidence-based, and individualized care, especially those facing respiratory illnesses or life-threatening conditions. I believe in open communication, ensuring patients and their families are fully informed about their diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis, while respecting their autonomy in decision-making. Confidentiality, trust, and empathy form the foundation of the patient–doctor relationship. In pulmonary and critical care, where challenges can be complex and outcomes deeply impact quality of life, I remain committed to upholding ethical standards, protecting patient rights and delivering care that not only treat disease but also preserve hope, dignity, and quality of living
