Articles liés à Ethical Dilemmas in Pediatrics: A Case Study Approach
Synopsis
The wonders of modern medicine are often overshadowed by ethical questions of right and wrong. The case study approach taken in this text clears some of the issues and shows how to reach conclusions that can be defended. The brief presentation of clinical cases is followed by key discussion questions. The discussions themselves introduce distinctions, concepts and analysis. Some of the issues are deciding when not to treat, volunteering children for research, and treating adolescents. Primarily a teaching tool, the book may be used for class discussions or case conferences with residents, medical students and nurses in paediatrics and family medicine. It may also be used for self-teaching or continuing education by practicing paediatricians and family physicians.
