title: Perception is everything. An ACPE survey reveals the details of physicians' public fall from grace. Can they regain the credibility and trust they once enjoyed?
abstract: Once among the nation's most-respected professionals, doctors have fallen to No. 5--a step below grade-school teachers and tying with druggists. A survey by the American College of Physician Executives reveals that some docs are critically examining their own medical values and moral principles. Kenneth Goodman, left, director of the University of Miami's bioethics program, says the survey will prove that business as usual is not necessarily good business.
