Section Med 10.01 - Authority and intent(1) The definitions of this chapter are adopted by the medical examining board pursuant to the authority delegated by ss. 15.08(5) 227.11, and 448.40, Stats., for the purposes of ch. 448, Stats.(2) Physicians act with a high level of independence and responsibility, often in emergencies. Every physician represents the medical profession in the community and must do so in a manner worthy of the trust bestowed upon the physician and the profession. The minimally competent practice of medicine and surgery require that care of the patient is paramount. Physicians must therefore act with honesty, respect for the law, reasonable judgment, competence, and respect for patient boundaries.Wis. Admin. Code Medical Examining Board Med 10.01
