An Ethicist argues that Dr. Faris violated the hospital’s ethics code, forbidding doctors from deceiving patients about their medical treatment. The Ethicist argues that Dr. Faris did this when he told a patient that medication A would help them sleep, despite the medication having no known sleep-inducing properties. Although the patient’s sleep improved, the Ethicist argues that the doctor’s statement violated the ethics code.

The Ethicist assumes that Dr. Faris knows that medication A has no known sleep-inducing effects. Furthermore, he also assumes that medication A does not have any secondary effects that could induce sleep. For example, the medication could calm one’s mind, thereby making it easier to sleep despite it not having “sleep-inducing” properties.

If anything, this strengthens the argument because it reinforces the idea that Dr. Faris knowingly gave his patient something he did not believe would help them sleep.

This is irrelevant to the current argument at play. Just because the ethics code may change, does not mean that Dr. Faris did/did not break the code of ethics.

This is an alternative explanation for Dr. Faris’ statement about medication A helping the patient sleep. Although the medication may not have “sleep-inducing properties,” it could still help someone get rest if they are in pain.

This just gives more details about the people who work at the hospital. It does not impact the reasoning between Faris’ statement and the ethics code

It does not matter what else (if anything) the patient is taking. This does not address whether Dr. Faris’ statement about the medication was deceptive
