 AB    Health-care providers have an obvious, primary obligation to patients.
       Yet providers also have obligations to the public health (society),
       their institutional or individual self-interests, and their employees
       (fellow health-care workers). These obligations contain inherent
       conflicts, and attempts to reconcile the conflicts often perpetuate
       contradictions. This article identifies and discusses some of the moral
       and legal bases of these conflicts.
