Abstract

Abstract Decisions on issues concerning the health of public servants, such as leaves for treatment, are based on the results of medical examinations conducted by a medical professional. These workers are examined by the so-called Integrated Subsystem for Civil Servant Health Care. However, the experts who work in it and the patients work in the same governmental bodies, which can create conflicting situations and ethical dilemmas. This article addresses the issue from the perspective of an expert of the Federal Public Administration, seeking to emphasize ethics, respect for ethical principles, technical excellence, and common sense as guidelines for the balance between the role of expert and personal closeness to co-workers.
