Health care professionals are becoming increasingly aware of the moral dilemmas fundamental to their work. Healthy Respect introduces and analyses the moral concepts and values of health care for all those working in the medical profession, in order that they may examine their own moral and value judgements and appreciate how they might be influenced by them at work. The topics covered include:
consent, confidentiality, giving or withholding information, the economics of healthcare, terminal care, resuscitation, testing of drugs
Written in a clear, easily accessible style, this book presents many questions, cases and exercises throughout which will stimulate thought and discussion in the reader making it highly suited to all those actively engaged in health care.
