Responsibility in Medicine

What is responsibility?

Responsibility is the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone. It is the obligation to carry forward an assigned task to a successful conclusion. It also involves being accountable for your actions, showing respect for yourself and others, and being dependable in order to achieve objectives. Responsibilities can include taking care of oneself, participating in the community, or contributing to the work of a group or team. Ultimately, responsibility is about being reliable and making sure that you follow through on commitments.

Responsibility in medicine:  We are responsible to deliver the best healthcare, but with the increased acuity, lack of staff, it is difficult.
