individual versus community
in the mid-1980s, the administrator of a residential-care facility in great britain received a letter from a nearby university hospital, where his elderly residents typically went for medical care. the letter reminded him that five of his residents had recently had surgery at the hospital. it also informed him that the medical staff suspected that some of the blood used in their transfusions may have been tainted with the hiv virus. while making it clear that the probabilities of infection were low, the letter asked him to call the hospital immediately and arrange further testing for these five patients.
the letter presented him with a difficult question: what should he tell, and to whom should he tell it? given the public and professional ignorance about aids in the 1980s, and with legal regulations offering him little guidance, he felt certain that if he told his staff, their fear would be so great that they would refuse to enter the rooms of those five residents, making it impossible to deliver even basic care to them. suppose he did not tell the staff and one of them contracted adis? surely he would be responsible.
as it happened, none of the five ultimately tested positive, but that crucial fact was unknown at the time. what was he to do? he knew it was right to honor the individual rights of each of those five residents – the privacy of their medical histories, the expectation of high-quality care at his facility, their dignity as individuals. it was right, in other words, to say nothing.
on the other hand, he knew it was right to protect the community from disease. the staff had not signed on for hazardous duty. most of them was themselves as unskilled hourly workers, not members of a life-endangering profession to which they had been called by duty and prepared by intensive training. never mind that they might all phone in sick the day after the announcement. they deserved protection so they could continue to deliver care, with full regard for safety, to the many other residents who were not among the five exposed to aids. so it was right to tell them?
