• Summary:"During their professional lives as doctors, medical students will regularly encounter ethical problems for which there is no clear-cut solution. The high profile given to malpractice cases in the press and the increasing disinclination of patients to accept a paternalistic approach from doctors mean that it is now more essential than ever for medical students to learn to cope with ethical issues early in their careers." "This book aims to help the reader steer a path through the often conflicting demands of personal belief, law, professional guidelines, ethical theories and common sense. Practical case histories involving issues such as euthanasia, abortion and informed consent bring the subject to life." "Ideal for medical students, it will also be useful to students of nursing and other professions allied to medicine."--Jacket.
