Ethical Choices:Case Studies for Medical Practice

Ethical Choices is a concise guide to clinical action. Each of its case studies on clinical ethics, research ethics, and professionalism issues, all developed by the Ethics and Human Rights Committee of the American College of Physicians, presents an ethical dilemma relevant to daily practice, considers the possible responses of the physician and the motivations behind them, and elucidates the ethical course of action in this difficult situation. Patients and physicians alike will welcome this expanded edition of a now standard work.
