Overview describing why you think terms used more than two thousand years ago would be appropriate to the practice of medicine today.

Please write a brief paragraph on each of the 4 concept terms (Ability, Judgment, Confidentiality and Do no Harm) found in the overview describing why you think terms used more than two thousand years ago would be appropriate to the practice of medicine today.
Thoughts for consideration that we will examine and discuss in several ways throughout the course might include the questions, “What does ability mean?” “How should ability be measured and by whom?” “What does judgment mean?” “How should judgment be measured?” “Is there a difference between exercising medical judgment and medical ability?” “How is harm avoided?” “Is there always some harm involved in medical treatment?” “Are side-effects of medication harmful?” “Must there always be a benefit to justify a treatment?” “Should everything in the medical record be confidential?” “Should confidentiality be determined by the patient or the health care provider?” “Are there circumstances where confidentiality cannot legally be preserved, regardless of the patient’s wishes?” Do not attempt to answer all these questions at this time. We will consider them in several contexts as the term progresses.
