an agreed timeframe; if not, a new time must be negotiated.Consequential      Responsibilities     In a television medical drama episode I watched, 
an operating room scene showed a female doctor dancing to a reggae tune while 
operating on a patient and unknowingly sewing the patient up with a surgical metal 
clip still in the patient's chest.The consequence responsibility 
involves the  safety   of the client from harm, both physical and fi nancial, after receiv
ing the service.Oftentimes one is praised for a service well done 
and the best product ever provided, but there are also times when one is remorseful 
because a service did not produce what it was intended to or a product did not live 
up to expectations.In such cases, one expects liabilities for the 
service or product, and the professional must accept those consequential responsi
bilities.Product   Responsibilities     If the contract between the provider and the client involves 
a product, the provider has the responsibility to deliver the product agreed upon on 
time, in good shape and of  quality  , and to provide documentation for the safe use of 
the product.There is remorse on the part 
of the doctor and anger on the part of the patient's family, all because one person did 
not fulfi ll her responsibilities.Remorse and anger are aftereffects of an action gone wrong, in this case a profes
sional service.We say more about liabilities in 
Chaps.
