Excerpt from Code of Ethics of the American Medical Association: Adopted May 1847

A physician ought not to abandon a patient because the case is deemed incurable; for his attendance may continue to be highly useful to the patient, and comforting to the relatives around him, even in the last period of a fatal malady, by alleviating pain and other symptoms, and by soothing mental anguish. To decline attendance, under such circumstances, would be sacrificing to fanei ful delicacy and mistaken liberality, that moral duty, which is inde pendent of, and far superior to all pecuniary consideration.
