This casebook provides a set of cases that reveal the current
complexity of medical decision-making, ethical reasoning, and
communication at the end of life for hospitalized patients and
those who care for and about them. End-of-life issues are a
controversial part of medical practice and of everyday life.
Working through these cases illuminates both the practical and
philosophical challenges presented by the moral problems that
surface in contemporary end-of-life care. Each case involved real
people, with varying goals and constraints,who tried to make the
best decisions possible under demanding conditions. Though there
were no easy solutions, nor ones that satisfied all stakeholders,
there are important lessons to be learned about the ways
end-of-life care can continue to improve. This advanced casebook is
a must-read for medical and nursing students, students in the
allied health professions, health communication scholars,
bioethicists, those studying hospital and public administration, as
well as for practicing physicians and educators.
