In this episode Chris and Courtney discuss how "good doctors" are produced by looking at the history of medical ethics in the Australian medical curriculum. They tackle the myth that medical ethics wasn't taught prior to Beauchamp and Childress's "Principles of Biomedical Ethics" (1979), and it wasn't "mere etiquette" either. They also discuss the gendered aspects of medical education and ethics at the time.
