I have yet to read the story but feel a need to comment on this application of "situational ethics" by someone who espouses a different sort of ethic for others. If you were a surgeon and faced with either hospital or legal prerequisites that forbade your participating in an operation which might actually save a patient, would you circumvent those procedures and go forward with what you know in you heart is right, or would you stand down and let the patient take his/her chances?
For this and many similar scenarios, reruns of "House M.D." are on the USA Network in 3-hour blocks 5 nights a week.
