Doctors harming their patients in any form against ethics is wrong.

Doctors harming patients medically, physically and surgically is wrong. Doctor neglect in the form of undiagnosed disease, under-diagnosis and over-diagnosis also harm patients and their families. Doctors who are not treating disease or are under treating and over treating their patients are also against medical ethics. So harming patients knowingly or unknowingly in any form against ethics is wrong.
