Abstract
People dedicated to providing health services have the legal, ethical, professional and human commitment to ensure the health and welfare of society. A physician must not only be trained in the academic and technical field, but must also build and work on his or her professional ethics. Continuous medical updating in evidence-based medicine and continuous training in the practical and clinical area, although of utmost importance, must go hand in hand with the application of ethical principles such as respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence to the patient and justice. The analysis of real clinical cases in the light of ethics is a very enriching exercise to transcend in our daily practice. It is not only of great help to detect and prevent behaviors that could violate or attempt against the dignity of patients, but also to reaffirm the value and centrality of the human person in the medical approach.
