Abstract:

Shocked by the fact that, in the Netherlands, psychiatric patients are considered potentially appropriate candidates for physician-assisted suicide, Olevitch examines the research and data and finds that, even in the United States, the situation is threatening. She describes how the rhetoric of the assisted-suicide movement can confuse potential suicide victims and their helpers, and how surrogate medical decisions are a growing threat in the lives of incompetent patients. Olevitch argues the assisted-suicide movement is based not on the level-headed realism its advocates claim, but on a lack

Abstract:

The gradual progression of dementia means there has to be a constant search for a reasonable balance between supporting autonomy and ensuring proper representation. ∙ Good end of life care for people with dementia depends on adequate advance care planning, startling early in the disease process ∙ Where possible, it involves striving for joint decision-making with the patient and next-of-kin about (future) medical treatment and (future) care. ∙ Written advance directives may support representatives of incompetent patients in their role of surrogate decision maker, but the contents of the direct

Abstract:

This chapter is concerned with one of the major ethical issues in contemporary health care practice: informed or valid consent. The chapter defines the elements of informed consent—that is, the types of information that need to be transmitted for consent to be adequately informed. The second section looks at cases involving questions of the standards of consent, referring to the question of what standard of reference should be used in determining whether a sufficient amount of a particular type of information has been transmitted: the professional standard, the reasonable person standard, or t

Abstract:

Abstract This book discusses cases where it’s unclear whether a person’s consent to sex should count as valid consent, the kind of consent that makes it permissible for the person they give consent to to have sex with them. Clear cases of coercion, for example, involve the threat of significant physical harm. But what should we say about cases involving the threat of harms that are relatively insignificant or that involve no physical harm at all? Impersonating someone’s spouse to trick them into saying yes to sex is clearly seriously wrong, but what about the more mundane kinds of lies people

Abstract:

Pharmaceutical policy should not discriminate between legitimate and illegitimate drug users, meaning that patients should have access to drugs for medical and non-medical purposes. This principle supports greater access to deadly and addictive drugs. But even if one doesn’t accept the argument that people should have legal access to deadly and addictive drugs, people should at least be permitted to access safe and non-addictive drugs for medical and non-medical uses. People have especially urgent claims to access drugs that protect people from harm and save lives. And there is a role for pres

Abstract:

This chapter explores clinicians’ attitudes toward the diagnosis and treatment of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). Across medical specialties, many clinicians report misconceptions about the nature of PNES, which contributes to a negative attitude toward this disorder and difficulties interacting with PNES patients. When working with PNES patients, clinicians often experience feelings of professional incompetency, frustration, and anxiety, which can negatively impact the clinician–patient relationship and treatment outcome. Recommendations to increase clinicians’ knowledge about PNES,

Abstract:

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is increasingly prevalent in Europe. Echocardiography has a key role in the diagnosis and management of patients with MR. Each echocardiographic study in patients with MR should aim to characterize mitral valve morphology, identify the mechanism of valve dysfunction, quantify the severity of MR, and give hints regarding the aetiology of the disease affecting the valve. Assessment of MR severity should be based on a step-wise approach including two-dimensional-derived Doppler data and, when available, data derived from three-dimensional echocardiography.

Abstract:

Written by a surgeon with 40 years' experience in practice and instruction, this book provides vital, up-to-date information that explains the strengths and weaknesses of the laparoscopic surgery field to enable potential surgical patients to make the best decisions and choose a surgeon wisely. More than 30 years ago, laparoscopic or "keyhole" surgery suddenly appeared as an operative technique. Laparoscopy quickly grew in the U.S. surgical field, where now more than two million operations annually use the technique. But is the training surgeons receive in laparoscopy sufficient to ensure pati

Abstract:

In general, a pharmacist who is in an ongoing relationship with a patient has a duty to disclose information. This duty can be attributed to the principle of veracity (truthfulness, honesty, correctness, and accuracy), but it can also be associated with the principle of fidelity, where special duties derive from special relationships. This chapter focuses on situations when the pharmacist is faced with a question invoking the principle of fidelity and with related scenarios involving confidentiality. The different obligations of the principles of veracity and fidelity are explained, confidenti
