Description

'In a world in which states promote the global privatization of health care resources, how are we to protect a doctor's paramount virtue of commitment to the good of the patient? Thomas Faunce's book deepens our appreciation of the ways in which the market tends to corrupt trustworthy medical practice. But -- just as important -- it suggests ways in which the profit motive might be harnessed to the relief of sick people.' -- Bernadette Tobin, M.D., Plunkett Centre for Ethics, St. Vincent's Hospital, Sydney'This book covers challenges for the medical profession from ethics to education and should be obligatory reading for all engaged in health service delivery now and in the future, from students and professionals to policy makers.' -- Richard Ruffin, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, University of Adelaide
