This volume illustrates the central importance of diversity of
human values throughout healthcare. The readings are organized
around the main stages of the clinical encounter from the patient's
perspective. They run from staying well and "first contact" through
to either recovery or long-term illness, death, and dying.
An introductory section opens up crucial issues of methodology
and of practical application in this highly innovative approach to
the role of ethics in healthcare. The contributions include
selections from literature and poetry, canonical and newly
commissioned articles, and first-hand narrative by patients, care
givers, and professionals. The readings speak volumes to the
diversity of human values operative in healthcare.
The volume as a whole conveys the message that these values are
far more diverse than any of us normally recognize. Raising
awareness of this diversity is the first step to developing a
practically effective healthcare ethics.
