The court had three realistic options in addressing the legality of the noncompete agreement between a physician and his private employer: (1) it could have evaluated the covenant as it would any other commercial noncompete agreement to examine if it were reasonable under the circumstances;6 (2) it could have applied a special level of scrutiny, specifically for physician noncompete agreements,7 or (3) it could have invalidated the agreement as a violation of public policy.8 The Tennessee Supreme Court, relying primarily upon public policy, patient access to healthcare, and the American Medical Association Code of Medical Ethics, held that such agreements are "unenforceable and void" unless specifically protected by statute.9 In making this decision, the court created a bright-line rule...

With the Supreme Court's decision on Washington v. Glucksberg, the clash between patient autonomy and cultural mores reached a zenith. Unintended consequences have often resulted in assisted suicide becoming a difficult and complicated matter. Current laws do not serve dying patients well, nor do they give support to the families who often must stand by helplessly when end-of-life wishes of a patient are not honored. This is complicated by a lack of education and empowerment for those who face these difficult decisions. There remains an ambiguity regarding the roles of health care providers immersed in their patients' end-of-life scenarios. The purpose of this article is to examine the case in the context of the codified social customs of the United States, to determine the conflict bet...
