Vividly documenting the real world of the contemporary hospital,
its nurses, and their moral and ethical crises, Dan Chambliss
offers a sobering revelation of the forces shaping moral decisions
in our hospitals.
Based on more than ten years' field research, "Beyond Caring" is
filled with eyewitness accounts and personal stories demonstrating
how nurses turn the awesome into the routine. It shows how
patients, many weak and helpless, too often become objects of the
bureaucratic machinery of the health care system and how ethics
decisions, once the dilemmas of troubled individuals, become the
setting for political turf battles between occupational interest
groups. The result is a compelling combination of realism and a
powerful theoretical argument about moral life in large
organizations.
