The Relationships Formed When We Are Patients Can Also Teach Some Of Life'S Most Important Lessons, And These Relationships Provide A Special Window Into Ethics, Especially The Ethics Of Healthcare Professionals. This Book Answers Two Basic Questions: As Patients See It, What Things Allow Relationships With Healthcare Providers To Become Therapeutic? What Can This Teach Us About Healthcare Ethics? This Volume Presents Detailed Descriptions And Analyses Of 50 Interviews With 58 Patients, Representing A Wide Spectrum Of Illnesses And Clinician Specialties. The Authors Argue That The Structure, Rhythm, And Horizon Of Routine Patient Care Are Ultimately Grounded In Patient Vulnerability And Clinician Responsiveness.
