Clinical ethics consultants navigate dilemmas across patient care, public health, healthcare policy, and professional guidelines with issues spanning from the beginning to the end of life, complex discharges, employment of novel technologies, and visitation restrictions. The second edition relays the narratives of fraught, complex consultations through richly detailed cases exploring the ethical reasoning, professional issues, and the emotional aspects of these impossibly difficult scenarios. Describing the affective aspects of ethics consultations, authors highlight the lasting effects of these cases on their practices and reflect candidly on evolving professional practice as well as contemporary concerns and innovations, with attention to equity and inclusivity. Featuring many new chapters, cases are grouped together by theme to aid teaching, discussion, and professional growth. The book is intended for clinicians, bioethicists, and ethics committee members with an interest in the choices made in real-life medical dilemmas as well as the emotional cost to those working to improve the situations.
‘This rich anthology reminds us that clinical case consultation is more than an abstract exercise in philosophy. Professors Ford and Dudzinski have brilliantly capitalized on the pedagogical value of these musings and edited a volume that will enrich teaching in the seminar room or at the bedside. A wonderful feature of this new edition is that it places the current generation of practitioners into conversation with their pioneering predecessors from the first edition, reminding readers of the enduring values that should inform case consultation. This volume belongs in the library of every student and teacher of bioethics.’
