more on Healthcare Whistleblowing and Ethics

An interesting article online here, discussing healthcare whistleblowing and virtue ethics.
Practical virtue ethics:  health care whistleblowing and portable digital technology
    From the Abstract:  The authors examine whether healthcare whistleblowing should be considered central to any medical ethics emphasising professional virtues and conscience. They consider possible causes for the paucity of professional or academic interest in this area and examine the counterinfluence of a continuing historical tradition of guild mentality professionalism that routinely places relationships with colleagues ahead of patient safety.
