Product Description

▼▲

The complexities of a healthcare situation often include the concerns and religious commitments of the patient, but they should include that of the healthcare professional as well. In a fresh approach to problems in medical ethics, the contributors to Caring Well provide case studies, interviews, and personal narrative that enable ethicists to listen more attentively, and thus offer wiser critiques of the moral issues.
