Summary: A Landmark Volume in Surgery
Comment: Although the literature of medical ethics has exploded in the last twenty years, and many American medicals schools have added courses and even entire departments devoted to its study, there has not heretofore been a single volume devoted exclusively to a consideration of ethical principles specifically affecting the practice of surgery. Surgical Ethics represents the first such effort to address the unique ethical challenges confronted by surgeons, from the special trust patients place in them by submitting to the most invasive of all medical procedures, to the many implications of informed consent, management of poor-risk and high-risk patients, death, research, training, money, and beyond. Edited by two of the nation's most prominent medical ethicists and one of its finest cardiac surgeons, Surgical Ethics' nineteen chapters each address an important ethical conundrum seen in daily surgical practice. Every chapter is co-authored by a well-known surgeon and an equally respected medical philosopher. The volume's goal is to explore these particular issues and to arm surgeons with the intellectual tools they'll need for independent ethical analysis of other conflicts they will encounter in their work. This fine Oxford University Press volume is not only the first of its kind, but is likely to be the best in its field for some time to come.
