Ward Ethics: Dilemmas for Medical Students and Doctors in Training (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521664523)

The existing literature in medical ethics does not serve the practical needs of medical students and trainees very well. Medical students or junior doctors often have their own set of ethical concerns and the dilemmas that arise are generally beyond their direct control. The editors have addressed the gap in the literature by compiling a series of case studies from around the world and inviting an international team of leading ethicists and clinicians to comment on them. This volume includes over 80 actual cases that cover the range of possible problems a medical trainee may encounter on the ward.
