Don't run away from a colleague with substance abuse

Article Abstract:

Physicians have an obligation under American Medical Assn policy and to the doctor involved to intervene when a colleague has a substance abuse problem. They should first assess how serious the problem is and report the problem if the physician's patients are in danger. In less serious cases, physicians should gather information by discussing the situation discreetly with co-workers, and then confront the physician in question.
