Of care, cure and the in-between
Through historical division of roots in the field of medicine, care and cure became positioned at opposite extremes. In this article, we merge conceptual framings with empirical data to consider how the dialectic between caring and curing shaped understandings during the spring 2020 wave of COVID-19 infections. We utilised interviews obtained from healthcare clinicians of a medical centre who volunteered in New York City during the surge of 2020.…
How individual ethical frameworks shape physician trainees’ experiences providing end-of-life care
OBJECTIVES: The end of life is an ethically challenging time requiring complex decision-making. This study describes ethical frameworks among physician trainees, explores how these frameworks manifest and relates these frameworks to experiences delivering end-of-life care. DESIGN: We conducted semistructured in-depth exploratory qualitative interviews with physician trainees about experiences of end-of-life care and moral distress. We analysed th…

We then present a concrete framework that clinicians can directly apply when faced with difficult cases such as this one. We outline how exploring motivations, obtaining i…

Fifty‐eight semi‐structured in‐depth interviews were conducted with internal medicine physicians at three hospitals in the US and one in the UK . At hospitals where autonomy was prioritised, trainees equated autonomy with giving a menu of choic…

The California law includes safeguards, yet health care providers will face practical and ethical issues while implementing physician-assisted death that are not addressed by the law. To help providers and health care facilities in California prepare to provide optimal care to patients who inquire about physician-assisted death, we bro…
