Mr. Ito's children act as his informal translators, but his doctor
isn't sure their translations are accurate or complete. Is Mr. Ito
getting the medical information he needs? Ten-year-old Hannah
arrives for her checkup with a bruised nose and an irritable
father. Medical student Melanie is concerned for Hannah's safety
but wary of making accusations without evidence. Dr. Joshi worries
that her patient is putting her husband, who is also Dr. Joshi's
patient, at risk by concealing a sexually transmitted disease. How
can she act in the interest of both husband and wife without
compromising doctor-patient confidentiality? Using the accessible
and richly layered medium of comics, this collection reveals how
ethical dilemmas in medical practice play out in real life.
Designed for the classroom, Clinical Ethics provides an excellent
introduction to medical ethics and presents case studies that will
spark meaningful discussions among students and practitioners. The
topics covered include patient autonomy, informed consent,
unconscious bias, mandated reporting, confidentiality, medical
mistakes, surrogate decision-making, and futility. The "Questions
for Further Reflection" and "Related Readings" sections provide
additional materials for a deeper exploration of the issues.
Co-created by experts in clinical medicine, ethics, literature, and
comics, Clinical Ethics presents a new way for students and
practitioners to engage with fundamental concerns in medical
ethics.
