Doctors have one of the most strict codes of conduct of any profession.
An angry outburst or sloppy note taking could warrant an investigation by the Board of Medicine.
A doctor could be banned from practicing for having a substance abuse problem.
Stepping beyond these ethical limits can have devastating effects: both for the health of the patient and the career of the doctor.

Historian Stu Wallace takes us on a tour of 19th and early 20th century New Hampshire for a look at some of the state's quirky laws governing a woman's right to vote.

Nineteenth century women formed anti-slavery groups and tested the waters of activism. We’ll look at why New England played a central role in this early women’s movement and who led the charge. Laura's guest is Beth Salerno, Assistant Professor of History at St. Anselm College and author of "Sister Societies: Women's Antislavery Organizations in Antebellum America". She is currently working on a book about Mary Clark, one of New England's early female antislavery activists.
