This editorial by Professor Daniel Sokol on Surgical Ethics is well worth noting. Professor Sokol is a Barrister and also a Senior Lecturer in Medical Ethics at Imperial College. He has written a very perceptive editorial on this subject which is entirely relevant to transplant surgeons. But he also makes the point that the pamphlet produced by The Royal College of Surgeons of England entitled “Good Surgical Practice” should be read by every surgeon, and reread once a year!
