Health care unions response: fortifying clinicians' patient advocacy.
In a previous article in this point-counter-point, I argued that work actions could be ethically problematic and undermine clinicians' values and goals. I now respond to the elegant arguments made by Ash and colleagues, presenting additional measures that may be required-until health care unions (if ever) grow-to fortify protections for clinicians who advocate for patient safety and medical professionalism.
