Abstract

This article is the culmination of two axioms. The first is the authors' belief that the practice of medicine is, if anything, a social profession. The second is the glaring realization that conscience is the worst motivator. When we combine the two, we understand why a war needs to be waged for a stronger legislation making the wearing of helmets compulsory, and why doctors need to be at the forefront of this war.
