title: Practical ethics. A fresh start?
abstract: You are a newly hired CEO and need to hire a chief operating officer. You really wanted to hire a previous employee, Joe, a COO whose abilities put him ahead of the competition. He was a star performer who has a gift for working with physicians--something that needs special attention at your hospital. Now you've learned he's had several public scenes while drinking in restaurants. He's told you those were isolated incidents, due to personal problems that are over. He'd like to move and make a fresh start. What do you do?
