Ethics: The Heart of Healthcare, Third Edition provides clarification and extension of the argument that ethics is everywhere in health care, and that therefore codes and principles are just not enough to help us practice in the bestways. While most other health care ethics texts argue the contrary, this book's stance against this rather simplistic understanding of ethics continues to provide invaluable fodder for more thoughtful health care ethics teachers and students. This third edition features an expansion of the theories of ethics section, another of the book's successful elements. Readers enjoy the clear andjargon-free exposition of ethics, grounded in real examples, and this addition builds on this by adding brief introductions. INDICE: About the Author. Preface (3E).
