Présentation de l'éditeur: Ten Years of Making Choices

Celebrating the tenth anniversary of her column, ?Making Choices?, published in the Healthcare Forum Journal, this volume brings together key writings from Emily Friedman, one of the nation′s foremost commentators on health care policy and ethics.

Friedman offers her views on the gamut of ethics issues. She tackles the moral conflicts affecting nurses, physicians, and other direct caregivers, and examines the health care risks threatening women, children, and persons with HIV. She analyzes the social ethics of child abuse, health care reform, and health policy, uncovers ethical dilemmas in managed care, and looks at organizational ethics issues such as confidentiality of information, ethical marketing, and trusteeship.
