| العنوان الفرعي للكتاب | The Everyday Ethics Of Health Care |
| وصف الكتاب | Being a patient is a unique interpersonal experience but it is also a universal human experience. The relationships formed when we are patients can also teach some of life's most important lessons, and these relationships provide a special window into ethics, especially the ethics of healthcare professionals. This book answers two basic questions: As patients see it, what things allow relationships with healthcare providers to become therapeutic? What can this teach us about healthcare ethics? This volume presents detailed descriptions and analyses of 50 interviews with 58 patients, representing a wide spectrum of illnesses and clinician specialties. The authors argue that the structure, rhythm, and horizon of routine patient care are ultimately grounded in patient vulnerability and clinician responsiveness. From the short interview segments, the longer vignettes and the full patient stories presented here emerge the neglected dimensions of healthcare and healthcare ethics. What becomes visible is an ethics of everyday interdependence, with mutual responsibilities that follow from this moral symbiosis. Both professional expressions of healthcare ethics and the field of bioethics need to be informed and reformed by this distinctive, more patient-centered, turn in how we understand both patient care as a whole and the ethics of care more specifically. The final chapters present revised codes of ethics for health professionals, as well as the implications for medical and health professions education. |
| المراجعة التحريرية | The essential opinions about patients expressed by the physicians in Healers are ineluctably subjective; they are not measurable and cannot be made objective. To comprehend that is to realize also how imperative thoughtful subjectivity is not only to clinical medicine and bioethics but also to how persons live their lives generally. Understand that, and you will begin to be free of scientism outside of its rightful domain. I believe you will come away from these books with an increased appreciation of healing and a wider and more human view of ethics. * Hastings Center Report * This is a good resource to highlight the patient perspective for clinicians. The authors allow patient stories to be told with little interruption, preserving an authentic patient voice, and still carry out an effective discussion and analysis of the contributions that these perspectives make to the ethics of healthcare. * Kathryn E. Raliski, MA, Doody's Health Sciences Book Review * This is an essential book in medical ethics. Drawing on extensive interviews, the authors emphasize the patient's agency and the body's belonging to a community, and they see the trust that's central to the patient-physician relationship as a reciprocity of vulnerability and responsiveness. This "doubled agency" leads them to a reassessment of principlism; in their view ethical principles are the boundary conditions of that relationship, useful primarily when trust fails. * Kathryn Montgomery, Professor of Medical Humanities & Bioethics and Medicine, Northwestern University * What Patients Teach, with its companion volume, Healers, gives health-care professionals the clearest, most practical, best researched guide to relationships with their patients. Few books offer as constructive a vision of what clinical care can be. The authors' concluding call for a reorientation of bioethics to focus on patients' vulnerability deserves to debated and, I hope, implemented. These books are essential reading for anyone concerned with the humane delivery of health care. * Arthur W. Frank, author of The Wounded Storyteller (new edition, 2013) and Letting Stories Breathe * The near-universal complaint among disappointed patients is, 'My doctor doesn't listen.' Churchill, Schenck, and Fanning let the patients themselves tell us exactly what it means to listen within the context of a truly therapeutic relationship, thoughtfully describing the unglamorous, everyday world of solid medical practice. Along the way, they force us to rethink many of our assumptions about what most matters ethically in health care. * Howard Brody, John P. McGovern Centennial Chair in Family Medicine and Director, Institute for the Medical Humanities, University of Texas Medical Branch * This an outstanding contribution to the ethics literature * thoughtful, analytic, original, and exceptionally attuned to the dynamic, 'doubled-agency' aspects of the doctor-patient relationship. Combining profound insight with empirical data gleaned from in-depth interviews, the authors challenge the received wisdom that the abstract framework of principled-centered ethics will suffice to solve clinical problems. All those involved in conducting and teaching ethics consultations will benefit from this book. * |
