Civil Disobedience
High-Profile Research the Media
Public discussion of new medical trials is desirable, but not moment-by-moment disclosure of patients' ups and down. Nor is such disclosure necessary: the public is not entitled to all information about a trial as soon as it is available. What should be given the press, and what withheld, cannot be decided without appreciating the surprising number and intricate interrelations of the parties' needs and interests
By Any Other Name
satisfactory informed con-sent process for clinicalresearch can be elusiveunder the best of circumstances.Prospective enrollees may be limit-ed in their understanding of theprocess by poor education or seri-ous illness. Conflicts of interestmay bias investigators’ presenta-tions of information. Time con-straints and a host of other factorscan likewise intrude. In view ofsuch challenges, some observershave proposed that, at least forsome kinds of …
A Roadmap for Health Care Accountability
theologians in the late 1970s and early 1980s encouraged their colleagues to distance themselves from practical bioethics. That is, Evans accounts for theological marginalization in terms of jurisdictional competition (and defeat at the hands of bioethicists) rather than what he alludes to in one sentence, but does not explore-a crisis in theology. Evans' narrative of the origins of bioethics as a profession is very compressed, and I think does n…
Health care
Lifestyles of the Risky and Infamous
As managed care organizations provide an increasing proportion of\ncitizens' health care, the move toward asking individuals to help control\ncosts by taking more responsibility for their health is likely to intensify. \nEconomic, medical, and legal responses to lifestyle-induced health care costs\nraise concerns as well as possibilities for using resources responsibly
Profoundly Diminished Life The Casualties of Coercion
The "futility debate" turns on intractable conflicts of deeply held\nbeliefs about the value of life. It raises practical moral dilemmas of how\nbest to permit parties to honor their own values without coercing unwilling\nothers....On the one hand citizens should be able to spend their own money as\nthey wish. On the other hand, people should not be free to dip into common\nfunds at will
Am I My Brother's Warden? Responding to the Unethical or Incompetent Colleague
Responding to the failings of peers can be difficult, but as\nprofessionals physicians should not leave the moral management of errant\ncolleagues to chance. Distinguishing levels of adverse outcomes helps\nphysicians more clearly assess each others' conduct and respond appropriately\nto those who threaten the integrity of the profession....Physicians'\nobligations of fidelity include protecting patients from substandard\ncolleagues -- by not ref…
Enough Wiggle Room
Preventing Prenatal Harm
The issues explored in this book have unfortunately come to be known as 'maternal-fetal conflicts'. The phrase is unsatisfactory because it is misleading: It places the emphasis on the well-being of the fetus instead of on the born child (who will bear the burden of any harm done prenatally); it assumes a conflict between a pregnant women and her offspring (while the issue is usually more complex and more broadly based); and it incorrectly implie…
Patient-Funded Research
Cost-Containment and Strains of Commitment
Cost Constraints as a Malpractice Defense
Cost-containment pressures impose fiscal responsibilities upon physicians that can conflict with their fiduciary commitment to patients. Should the law permit health care providers to adjust standards of care according to patients' financial resources? The legal concept of "rebuttable presumption" should be used to reconceive the traditional requirement of a uniform standard of care
Cost Constraints and Emergency Treatment
Cost Containment
Cost containment heralds a general tightening of health care funds,\nwhich subjects every health care intervention to scrutiny for its economic as\nwell as its medical wisdom and imposes upon physicians a variety of controls\nand incentives. Fiduciary fidelity is challenged by the conflict between\nclinical authority and patient loyalty, by financial and professional\nincentives that pit the physician's own interests against those of his or her\n…
Clinicians or Committees
The MD and the DRG
Cost containment in health care poses enormous challenges to\ntraditional medical values. Morreim considers the effect on physicians of the\nfederal government's Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) prospective reimbursement\nplan for Medicare. She rejects as morally objectionable three models of the\nphysician hospital relationship: (1) hospital restrictions on physicians'\ntreatment decisions, (2) sharing of profits and losses, and (3) ad hoc,\nbedsi…
