Worked as a hospital clerk at one of the top hospitals in my country. This was in the mid 2000s. I thus had access to the system and all the information contained in the same. One day, I got an opportunity to serve a certain female legislator who was/is married to someone from my small city. A nephew of the the legislator's husband is a good friend. Now, I actually needed help from the legislator and thought it was unethical of me to get her contact details from the hospital's system. I eventually got the contact details from my friend. But, while I was careful about this ethical issues, I knew of a colleague of who didn't. While I didn't get the help I wanted from the legislator, I sometimes ask myself whether getting in touch with her, regardless of how I got the contact, was ethical. This dilemma is as a result of the fact that I only met the legislator courtesy of the privilege accorded me by the hospital.
