Professional Ethics and Primary Care Medicine

Beyond Dilemmas and Decorum

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Smith and Churchill expand the horizons of medical ethics beyond quandary solving and unraveling the impact of biotechnology. They center instead on the heart of medical morals--the intersection of persons and of values in the healing relationship. "Professional Ethics and Primary Care Medicine" engages the issues at the 'front line' in primary care medicine, and it does so with clarity, sensitivity, and eminent good sense. This is a book not to be missed by students, practitioners, and the general public."--Edmund D. Pellegrino
