Atul Gawande, famous US surgeon and writer, elaborates on the role of doctors in state-sanctioned torture

[x]

Medicine is a privilege, and it’s a shame and disgrace to doctors everywhere for other members of the profession to be taking part in torture. First do no harm.

Do you have any thoughts on this? How about other forms of medical torture? Send them to be printed for the “Justice in Medicine” issue coming out this December!

Putting this out there for those of you who write about torture. Sadly, the medical professions do not have clean hands when it comes to these sorts of things.
