ETHICS ISSUE 1: All ethical guidelines for health care practitioners remind them to be aware that, even though sexually suggestive behavior may not have crossed the line legally, any form of sexual harassment or exploita­tion between medical supervisors and trainees, employers and employees, coworkers, or medical practitioners and patients is unethical.
You are a surgical technologist in a large hospital. Whenever you work with a certain surgeon she tells off-color jokes to you and your coworkers and makes suggestive comments to workers of the opposite sex. One coworker tells you that he might quit his job because he is married, and the surgeon's behavior makes him so uncomfortable that he dreads coming to work. Is the surgeon's behavior illegal or simply in bad taste? Explain your answer.
