Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. A plain-language guide to the medical decisions every one of us will face - and almost none of us are prepared for.Sooner or later, life asks it of all of us. A phone call at 3 a.m. A diagnosis no one saw coming. A parent who can no longer speak for themselves. And suddenly you are facing the hardest decisions of your life - with no idea how to make them.We're taught how to drive a car and how to file our taxes. We are almost never taught how to navigate illness, consent, impossible choices, and the end of life - even though not one of us will escape them.Ask Why? Medical Ethics 101 closes that gap. In clear, jargon-free language, and through real and relatable stories, Dr. David A. Kent - a board-certified psychiatrist with more than thirty-five years of experience - opens up the medical decisions that touch every human life, and hands the power to make them back to you.Inside, you'll learn: What informed consent actually means - and why a signature is not the same as understandingHow to weigh a treatment's risks against its benefits, and why "cuts your risk in half" can be dangerously misleadingWhat really happens when a loved one is seriously ill and refuses help - and what the law does and doesn't allowHow to tell when more treatment has stopped helping and started harmingWhat hospice and palliative care truly offer - and what "do everything" really meansWho decides when you no longer can - and the difference between a health care proxy and a court-appointed guardianHow to find trustworthy medical information in the age of AI and misinformationHow to take control in advance - living wills, powers of attorney, wills, and trusts - and spare your family needless divisionThis is more than a book about medicine. It is a guide to one of the most fundamental parts of being human: caring for ourselves and the people we love, wisely and with dignity, all the way to the end. Every chapter is grounded in the evidence, and every chapter ends on hope.Because the most important question in medicine isn't a medical one. It's a human one.It begins with two words: Ask why. Is a clear, evidence-based guide to the medical decisions we all must face - consent, risk, end-of-life care, who decides when you can't, and how to prepare - written for everyone.
