📒 In this book, for the first time in Saudi Arabia Dr. Amr Jamal has measured the estimated prevalence and acceptability of certain unprofessional behaviors by physicians in Saudi Arabia by conducting self-administered survey and targeting 154 physicians from five medical specialties which results an explicit ratio of prevalence of selected unprofessional behaviors in raw terms which includes patient confidentiality, sexual virtue, communication skills, relations with pharmaceutical companies, and many more.
