A collection of 25 thought provoking Essays which create a bridge
between the Classical personification of values and link them to
current training and education in Western Medicine. This readable
and erudite text provides a framework for modern clinical values -
with a particular emphasis on anesthesiology - set in the context
of ageless dilemmas facing each generation of physicians. Medicine
as a profession carries some specific obligations.The qualities of
empathy, knowledge, generosity, respect, and scholarship provide a
"family" of values that was personified by the Ancients in the
family of Asklepios, and which form the basis of professional
values today. Moreover, a substantial amount of professional growth
should come from reflection based on the experience of caring for
real patients - an appreciation of the human condition. Each essay
within this beautifully crafted book illustrates the importance of
expertise, skill, focus, mindfulness, and collaboration, all of
which are integral to professionalism in medicine, and in
particular to those working in the field of anesthesiology.
Anesthesiologists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and
Anesthesia Assistants will find much to enhance their professional
understanding within this text. The principles, values and traits
of professionalism are relevant to all medical specialties and
these essays provide a lyrical understanding of the traits required
for professional development.
