Yes, medical professionals have responsibilities that extend beyond legal requirements, as they are also bound by ethical standards and professional Codes of Conduct. These ethical obligations often prioritize patient welfare, informed consent, and confidentiality, which may not always be explicitly covered by law. Additionally, the principle of "do no harm" guides their practice, emphasizing the moral duty to provide the best possible care, even in situations where legal guidelines may be minimal or lacking.
