This new edition of the AMA Code of Medical Ethics represents the first comprehensive review and update of the AMA Code in more than half a century. The only national code of ethics for all physicians, the AMA Code articulates the core values and ethical responsibilities of physicians who are charged with curing the sick when possible and comforting the dying always. That is why the AMA Code is widely recognized as the most authoritative guide for physicians who strive to practice ethically.This modernized edition of the AMA Code breathes new energy into this living document, while staying true to what it means to be a good doctor. The AMA Code is grounded in the nine Principles of Medical Ethics, which are the standards of conduct that define the essentials of ethical behavior for physicians. While the AMA Code provides essential guidance for physicians, it is also regularly cited as the medical profession\'s authoritative voice in legal opinions, journal articles and media outlets. Such an indispensable resource deserves to be in every physician office, medical library, hospital, and place where the public\'s health is promoted.Features and BenefitsIntuitive topical chapter structure makes finding pertinent ethical guidance easyA uniform format that improves the readability and application of specific guidanceConsolidation of previously disparate guidance on related topics that streamlines the AMA CodeAn update or the retirement of significantly outdated guidanceUse of accepted definitions and consistent terminology that minimize misinterpretation of guidanceInclusion of a new preface to clarify the different levels of ethical obligation in the offered guidance N.

Today\'s medicine is spiritually deflated and morally adrift this book explains why and offers an ethical framework to renew and guide practitioners in fulfilling their profession to heal.What is medicine and what is it for? What does it mean to be a good doctor? Answers to these questions are essential both to the practice of medicine and to understanding the moral norms that shape that practice. The Way of Medicine articulates and defends an account of medicine and medical ethics meant to challenge the reigning provider of services model, in which clinicians eschew any claim to know what is good for a patient and instead offer an array of health care services for the sake of the patient\'s subjective well-being. Against this trend, Farr Curlin and Christopher Tollefsen call for practitioners to recover what they call the Way of Medicine, which offers physicians both a path out of the provider of services model and also the moral resources necessary to resist the various political, institutional, and cultural forces that constantly push practitioners and patients into thinking of their relationship in terms of economic exchange.Curlin and Tollefsen offer an accessible account of the ancient ethical tradition from which contemporary medicine and bioethics has departed. Their investigation, drawing on the scholarship of Leon Kass, Alasdair MacIntyre, and John Finnis, leads them to explore the nature of medicine as a practice, health as the end of medicine, the doctor-patient relationship, the rule of double effect in medical practice, and a number of clinical ethical issues from the beginning of life to its end. In the final chapter, the authors take up debates about conscience in medicine, arguing that rather than pretending to not know what is good for patients, physicians should contend conscientiously for the patient\'s health and, in so doing, contend conscientiously for good medicine. The Way of Medicine is an intellectually serious yet accessible exploration of medical practice written for medical students, health care professionals, and students and scholars of bioethics and medical ethics. In this book Paul Carrick charts the ancient Greek and Roman foundations of Western medical ethics. Surveying 1,500 years of pre-Christian medical moral history, Carrick applies insights from ancient medical ethics to developments in contemporary medicine such as advance directives, gene therapy, physician-assisted suicide, abortion, and surrogate motherhood. He discusses such timeless issues as the social status of the physician attitudes toward dying and death and the relationship of medicine to philosophy, religion, and popular mortality. Opinions of a wide range of ancient thinkers are consulted, including physicians, poets, philosophers, and patients. He also explores the puzzling question of Hippocrates\' identity, analyzing not only the Hippocratic Oath but also the Father of Medicine\'s lesser-known works. Accessible to both professionals and to those with little background in medical philosophy or ancient science, Carrick\'s book demonstrates that in the ancient world, as in our own postmodern age, physicians, philosophers, and patients embraced a diverse array of perspectives on the most fundamental questions of life and death.
