LEADING ARTICLE The physician is an active member of the society. He interacts with it, influences and takes care of it. His duty is not only to cure patients, but also to take the necessary procedures to reduce errors and to lessen the harm resulting from these errors on the health of the patient. Such faults and errors may seem travail, but they are serious however tiny they are because they are related to the divine and precious life of the human being.
