Taylor & Francis Ltd Exploitation Ethics and Law
Book SynopsisFocusing on a matter of continuing contemporary significance, this book is the first work to offer an in-depth exploration of exploitation in the doctor-patient relationship. It provides a theoretical analysis of the concept of exploitation, setting out exploitation's essential elements within the authors' account of wrongful exploitation. It then presents a contextual analysis of exploitation in the doctor-patient relationship, considering the dynamics of this fiduciary relationship, the significance of vulnerability, and the reasons why exploitation in this relationship is particularly wrongful. Two case studies sexual exploitation and assisted dying are employed to assess what the appropriate legal, ethical and regulatory responses to exploitation should be, to identify common themes regarding the doctor's behaviour (such as the use of undue influence as a conduit through which to take advantage of and misuse patients), and to illustrate the effects of exploitation on patiTable of Contents Introduction What is exploitation?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Why Conscience Matters
Book SynopsisThe book provides a detailed introduction to a major debate in bioethics, as well as a rigorous account of the role of conscience in professional decision-making.Exploring the role of conscience in healthcare practice, this book offers fresh counterpoints to recent calls to ban or severely restrict conscience objection. It provides a detailed philosophical account of the nature and moral import of conscience, and defends a prima facie right to conscientious objection for healthcare professionals. The book also has relevance to broader debates about religious liberty and civil rights, such as debates about the rights and duties of persons and institutions who refuse services to clients on the basis of a religious objection. The book concludes with a discussion of how to regulate individual and institutional conscientious objection, and presents general principles for the accommodation of individual conscientious objectors in the healthcare system.This bookTrade Review'Symons has made an important contribution to the debate on how to resolve disagreements regarding the provision of morally controversial but legally permissible medical interventions. This book is clear, careful, philosophically sound, insightful, and practical all at once. While it is unlikely to be persuasive to all, no one concerned about these issues will be able to ignore it.'

Taylor & Francis What Kind of Death
Book SynopsisMany books have been published about physician-assisted death. This book offers a comprehensive and in-depth examination of that subject, but it also extends the discussion to a broader range of end-of-life decisions including suicide, palliative care and sedation until death. In every jurisdiction that has laws permitting some kind of physician-assisted death, a central point of controversy is whether such assistance should only be available to dying patients, or to everyone who wants to end his life. The right to determine the manner and time of oneâs own death, however, does not necessarily mean that physicians should be permitted to cooperate in ensuring a quick and peaceful death. In this book, Govert den Hartogh considers the fundamental and practical matters â including concrete issues of legal regulation â related to end-of life decision making. He proposes a two-tiered system. Everyone should have access to humane means of ending his life, if his decision to end it iTable of ContentsChapter 1. IntroductionPart I: SuicideChapter 2.

Taylor & Francis Love and Midwifery
Book SynopsisThis unique book argues that love underpins safe, effective, high quality, midwifery care, and enables readers to explore sustainable and compassionate ways to engage with their profession. At a time when midwives are struggling to stay connected with the passion that brought them into the profession, and fear, distress and trauma are prevalent within maternity care for both staff and those receiving care, this book maps a new way forward. It encourages reflection and discussion about how love impacts midwivesâ experience of their practice and improves the quality of care they are able to provide for women, and their families. It develops a theoretical basis for understanding why love is relevant to midwifery, how midwives think of love, and the ways that it is communicated in practice. It offers practical ways in which love can be appropriately nurtured and applied in contemporary maternity settings, whilst upholding the professional standards required of all maternity care

Book SynopsisImagine: You are a hospital Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, medical or nursing director, patient safety specialist, quality improvement professional, or a doctor or nurse on the front lines of patient care. Every day youâre aware that patients and families should be more engaged in their care so they would fare better both in the hospital and after discharge; their care could be safer and more seamlessly coordinated; patients should be ready for discharge sooner and readmitted less often; your bottom line stronger; your staff more fulfilled. You enter into new payment models such as bundling with an uneasy awareness that your organization is at risk because you donât know what the care you deliver actually costs.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Autobiography of a Disease
Book SynopsisAutobiography of a Disease documents, in experimental form, the experience of extended life-threatening illness in contemporary US hospitals and clinics. The narrative is based primarily on the author's sudden and catastrophic collapse into a coma and long hospitalization thirteen years ago; but it has also been crafted from twelve years of research on the history of microbiology, literary representations of illness and medical treatment, cultural analysis of MRSA in the popular press, and extended autoethnographic work on medicalization. An experiment in form, the book blends the genres of storytelling, historiography, ethnography, and memoir. Unlike most medical memoirs, told from the perspective of the human patient, Autobiography of a Disease is told from the perspective of a bacterial cluster. This orientation is intended to represent the distribution of perspectives on illness, disability, and pain across subjective centersfrom patient to monitTrade ReviewPatrick Anderson’s Autobiography of a Disease offers a poetic and indispensible contribution to the growing body of literature that traces illness from an autethnographic perspective. It will reward a broad spectrum of lay, academic, and medical professional readers with its detailed account of the broad web of relationships impacted by one person’s illness. Anderson depicts each of these relationships with exemplary ethical care—including his relationship with the virus itself, personified in a captivating and moving way that reveals the flaws in our health care system and the dedicated people who struggle within and against that system as they fight for their lives and the lives of others.Craig Gingrich-Philbrook, Professor of Communication Studies, Southern Illinois UniversityI’ve been waiting for this book for a long time, anticipating Patrick Anderson’s always acute, insightful, nuanced, approach to understanding the performances and representations of our lives. Autobiography of a Disease exceeds all my expectations, as it experiments with form, multiplies narrative voices, and undoes the primacy of disciplinary approaches to knowledge and experience. Anderson deploys any and all strategies to evoke the uncanny journey to the precipice of mortality and back to another kind of life. A moving, stunning, necessary book.Jill Dolan, Dean of the College, Annan Professor of English, Professor of Theatre, Princeton UniversityThis is a captivating intervention into medical and illness narratives. It realizes the power of disease and care with equal parts precision and pleasure. A must-read for anyone interested in how we live in, with, and by our bodies. Della Pollock, Professor of Communication Studies, The University of North Carolina at Chapel HillPatrick Anderson’s Autobiography of a Disease offers a rare and much-needed view of illness that binds the political economy of American medicine to the personal and interpersonal work of healing. With precision and poignancy Anderson offers a harrowing narrative of disease as a communal event linking human and nonhuman agents, moments of peril, and moments of grace. It is an unflinching, creative, and utterly compelling account. Everyone who has been -- or will be -- a patient or a caregiver should read this book.Judith Hamera, Professor, Program in Dance, Princeton UniversityTable of ContentsForeword Prelude Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V Part VI Coda Afterword Acknowledgements

With contributors from various disciplines, it will be obligatory reading for all those with ethical standards in medical care.Trade Review'The conflict between patients' automony and choice and professionals' decision making is at the core of Medical Futility … It analyses care at the end of life in cultural, religious, and ethical contexts, as well as the economic consequences of providing treatments that are of little benefit at this, or indeed, any, time.'
