About this title

Synopsis

This book helps you make decisions when seconds count! Prepare for ethical dilemmas in emergency medical, nursing, and prehospital practice. Case-based, practical discussions provide a straight-forward approach to a wide range of ethical matters. Each case discussion illustrates a specific area of ethical decision making. Learn to identify, refine, and apply general moral principles in your practice. Among the issues addressed are: autonomy, education & research, life-sustaining treatment (emergency department and prehospital/ambulance), privacy & confidentiality, professional relationships, and threatening situations. Use this book to find the answers you have been seeking. (The cases and analyses in this book have also been used to draft scripts for the television show, ER.)

Review

Critical dilemmas arise on a daily basis in emergency departments. This book helps emergency medicine healthcare providers identify and approach ethical problems encountered in their practices. This book is for all emergency medicine team members, but most importantly for emergency physicians. -- Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

Now in a significantly updated second edition, Ethics In Emergency Medicine covers all of the major controversies in the field of Bioethics. Ethics In Emergency Medicine has been revised and expanded to include twice as many cases covering the topics of: Autonomy & Consent, Education & Research, and Privacy & Confidentiality. The list of contributors includes the most prestigious names in the field of Bioethics. Ethics In Emergency Medicine is useful as a textbook and as a reference book for emergency physicians, emergency nurses, paramedics, hospital and clinic board members, attorneys practicing tort law in the field of medicine, legislators dealing with medical law, academics and students in the field of ethics, and any interested general reader concerned with the subject of bioethics. This book is essential reading to bring into focus today's medical treatment and funding issues. -- Midwest Book Review
