Description
Practical Medical Ethics David Seedhouse The University of Liverpool, UK and Lisetta Lovett St George's Hospital, Stafford, UK Creatively balancing philosophical theory with clinical needs, Practical Medical Ethics looks at medical decision-making from a remarkably fresh perspective. Concise, interactive and lively, the book offers a consistently applicable approach to problem solving in health care. A mix of clinically relevant cases, many of which illustrate commonplace ethical dilemmas, offers doctors and students a variety of ways to enhance their practical reasoning abilities. With the aid of two decision-making tools - the unique Ethical Grid and a complementary Algorithm - fifteen medical scenarios are analysed. Often more than one solution is put forward, at which point the reader is challenged by exercises to develop the strongest possible justification for his or her preference. This colourful and imaginative book is intended for use in the design of courses for medical and other health care professionals, but is equally useful for independent study and practice.
Practical Medical Ethics provides new skills and insights with minimum fuss and invigorating originality, and will enhance the talents of all who care for health.
