Synopsis

Every day, clinicians face ethical dilemmas, many of which relate to the new challenges of managed care. This timely Second Edition of Resolving Ethical Dilemmas is a pragmatic, readable guide to approaching these ethical decisions and developing action plans, even when competing viewpoints have equal merit. Dr. Lo addresses routine problems such as informed consent and more difficult issues such as economic incentives to decrease medical care. He presents real-life cases and expands on them to clarify the ethical issues and develop action plans. This edition includes new chapters on pediatrics, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and organizational policies to decrease medical services
