This book exposes some of the hardest decisions to be made in a
profession in which peoples bodies and souls are laid bare.
'Doctors on the Edge' is the account of doctors who are faced by
wrenching moral dilemmas, uninvited and unexpected dilemmas that
are thrust upon them. Law, medicine, and morality -- sometimes
complementary and sometimes conflicting -- intrude on in the daily
practice of medicine. In gripping stories that often including
life-and-death decisions, doctors maneuver the ambiguities,
subjectivity, and essential principles of medical ethics. Each
chapter is a true account of physicians who lied, betrayed
confidences, or broke the law to bring about what they believed was
best for their patients.
