Abstract
Factors affecting the nature of the contract between patient and surgeon, which forms the basis of professional ethics, are examined with particular reference to Sweden. These include: the system by which the surgeon is rewarded for his work; political judgements about the allocation of scarce medical resources; the surgeon's workload as influenced by medical trade union pressure and the need for continuity and for training of new surgical manpower.
