This fictional, humorous article pokes fun at one of our profession's sacred cows and raises fundamental questions about our increasingly legalistic approach to ethics. The intent is not to make fun of genuine professional ethics but to point to a deeper, more sophisticated understanding of this important topic. The article is entirely fictional and the characters and settings are not real. However, if you think you recognize some of the characters in the story, perhaps even yourself, you could be right because the article is indeed "a fictional story that might be true."
