By the early twentieth century, physicians had mixed views about medical research. Physicians still accepted the Hippocratic ethos, but they were also interested in advancing medical science and testing new therapies. Although some physicians, such as Walter Reed, sought consent from their patients, medical practice was highly paternalistic. Physicians often treated their patients without explaining what they were doing or why. They were more concerned with helping their patients than obtaining consent and they often viewed medical experimentation as a necessary part of treatment. Indeed, physicians practicing medicine during this era did not have a clear sense of the difference between research and treatment and many mixed the two together.
