Pełen opis produktu 'Medical Ethics in Clinical Practice' »
This book discusses medicine from an ethical perspective, whereas
books on medical ethics more commonly present ethics from a
bio-medical standpoint.The book is divided into 23 chapters. The
introductory chapters present some basic concepts of medical
ethics, such as the relation between the legal system and ethics,
ethical documents, ethical theories, and ethical analysis. The
following chapters address issues of importance in all fields of
medicine: respecting autonomy, communication, relations within a
healthcare team, professional malpractice, limited resources, and
the portrait of a physician. In turn, the third part of the book
focuses on ethical aspects in a broad range of medical activities -
preventive medicine, human reproduction, genetics, pediatrics,
intensive care, palliative medicine, clinical research, unproven
methods in diagnostics and treatment, and the role of physicians
who aren't directly responsible for patient care. The last part
presents students' seminars with case stories.The book offers a
valuable resource for physicians of all specialties, students of
medicine, professionals, and students from other fields devoted to
human health, journalists, and general readers with an interest in
medicine.
