"Primum non nocere" which the associate flaunts is "first, do no harm" as he patiently explained to me. The basis of the doctor-patient relationship (as explained by my last lecturer) should be regulated by the following 4 principles:

1) Do no harm.

2) Benefit the patient.

(Here it may seem dumb to hav 1) but apparently 1) takes precedence over 2) so yadda yadda yadda)

3) Respect Confidentiality.

In the health care field all salacious gossip about patients is heartily exchanged, as long as it stays within the field of health care professionals. According to popular opinion, It's only a breach of confidentiality if it leaks outside of this group.

4) Ensured informed consent of the patient is obtained in treatment.

Ah hah hah. Personally i think this is not always necessary... i mean as a patient I would trust that my doctor would automatically choose the most appropriate treatment/ tests for me. Providing information is important of course....
