The definition of medical ethics (from Wikipedia) is so long and cumbersome that it does not include the well-being and interests of the patient and his family in the short and long term as a first requirement! Although it can be understood from the text that this was the intention, it is appropriate that the central value appears in the first line as a value that binds and guides the entire medical establishment.

"Medical ethics is an applied branch of ethics that analyzes the practice of clinical medicine and related scientific research. Medical ethics is based on values professionals can refer to in case of confusion or conflict. These values include respect for autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice. Such tenets may allow doctors, care providers, and families to create a treatment plan and work towards the same goal. It is important to note that these four values are not ranked in order of importance or relevance, and all encompass values about medical ethics. However, a conflict may arise, leading to the need for hierarchy in an ethical system, such that some moral elements overrule others to apply the best moral judgment to a difficult medical situation. Medical ethics is particularly relevant in involuntary treatment and commitment decisions." From Wikipedia.
