This book offers real insight into some of the more complex ethical
issues that are encountered whilst treating patients both in the
community and in hospital. It provides a holistic guide on the
skills that medical students and junior doctors need to acquire to
achieve professional integrity.
A 30-year-old Polish lady is admitted in labour. This is her first
pregnancy and she is full term. She is in a lot of pain, her liquor
is stained with meconium and the trace of her baby's heart is
classified as pathological. Her grasp of English is limited. You
have been asked to obtain her consent for a caesarean section...
100 Cases in Clinical Ethics and Law explores legal and ethical
dilemmas through 100 clinical scenarios typical of those
encountered by medical students and junior doctors in the emergency
or outpatient department, on the ward or in the community setting.
Covering issues such as consent, capacity, withdrawal of treatment,
confidentiality and whistle-blowing, each scenario has a practical
problem-solving element, encouraging readers to explore their own
beliefs and values including those that arise as a result of
differing cultural and religious backgrounds. Answer pages
highlight key points in each case, providing advice on how to deal
with the emotive issues that occur when practising medicine and
guidance on appropriate behaviour. Making speedy and appropriate
decisions, and choosing the best course of action to take as a
result, is one of the most important and challenging parts of
training to become a doctor. These true-to-life cases will teach
students and junior doctors to recognize ethical and legal dilemmas
as they arise, and to respond appropriately.
