After graduating, you get employed by a well-established company that manufactures patient health monitoring equipment. One hospital has been buying all its equipment from your company for over ten years. Recently, this hospital returned one of your failed equipment. A meeting was held with technical representatives from the hospital to discuss the problem. You and the project manager, who has been involved in the design and development of the equipment, attended the meeting. From the discussions you suspect that the problem is because your company did not test the equipment properly before delivery. However, at the end of the meeting, the project manager tells the hospital representatives that the equipment is working properly. You keep silent during the meeting, but afterwards tell the project manager of what you thought. You suggest to him that your company should inform the hospital that the problem is due to a design fault and that your company should replace it. Your project manager disagrees you about telling the company of the reason of the problem because he thinks the hospital will lose confidence and trust in your company's equipment. He said, however, that the faulty equipment will be replaced by your company without giving reasons for the failure. What would you do in this situation?
