ISBN: 9780195092196 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book addresses probing questions by translating the general moral concept of fairness into specific criteria for measuring the fairness of proposals for health reform.

They pay particular attention to the moral foundation of reforms based on competition. Although some reform ideas fare better than others, all are found weak in establishing open, democratic procedures for...

From Detached Concern to Empathy: Humanizing Medical Practice
ISBN: 9780195111194 / Angielski / Twarda / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Physicians recognize the importance of patients' emotions in healing yet believe their own emotional responses represent lapses in objectivity. Patients complain that physicians are too detached. Halpern argues that by empathizing with patients, rather than detaching, physicians can best help them. Yet there is no consistent view of what, precisely, clinical empathy involves. This book challenges the traditional assumption that empathy is either purely intellectual or an expression of sympathy. Sympathy, according to many physicians, involves over-identifying with patients, threatening...

ISBN: 9780195122381 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It addresses the political and economic consequences of making this decision.
