Primary care ethics
نویسنده
چکیده
Primary Care Ethics is one of those books that healthcare professionals will share with their colleagues because it brings together a range of experiences that are often discussed informally with their peers, but rarely addressed in clinical training. It is not intended as a textbook of medical ethics, but rather a series of essays that are insightful, thought provoking, and informative in raising awareness of the complex issues we face in our practice, and application of theories and concepts in understanding our decision-making. Reading the chapters is like eavesdropping on an intelligent conversational debate among healthcare practitioners.
