Question

You are a general practitioner and a mother comes into your office with her child who is complaining of body weakening and flu-like symptoms. Upon entering the room, you ask the boy to remove his shirt and you notice a pattern of very distinct bruises and scars on the boy's torso. You ask the mother where the bruises came from, and she tells you that they are from a procedure performed by an albularyo on him, known as “coining”. The procedure involves rubbing warm oils on a person’s skin with a coin or other flat metal object. The mother explains that coining is used to rise out bad blood, and improve circulation and healing. When you touch the boy’s back with your stethoscope, he winces in pain from the bruises.

Formulate at least 3 questions that you might ask to gather relevant information about the situation.
What are the conflicting duties and/or rights present in the case?
Illustrate through A-C-O diagram the type of ethical problem present in the situation.
Which ethical approach do you find yourself learning toward in this situation? Why?
What practical alternatives do you see?
What would you do to complete the action?
