Sinopsis

The efficient production and distribution of resources has long been a central feature of the debate on a national policy on health care. The issue of rationing, or limiting the use of potentially beneficial resources, has emerged relatively recently.Nowhere is rationing of greater concern than in the intensive care unit (ICU), the high citadel of technology. In the ICU, highly trained nurses care for critically ill patients using a wide range of life-saving technologies. The vital signs of the patients are constantly monitored. Often there is a ratio of one nurse to patient for the most severely ill.Many have argued that in terms of increased rates of survival and improved quality of life, investment in ICU services is inefficient. While some patients clearly will benefit form the life-support interventions of the ICU and return to normal life, the chance that many patients in chronically poor health will survive is at best only marginally improved by ICU intervention.In Rationing of Medical Care for the Critically Ill physicians, administrators, economists, lawyers, politicians, philosophers, ethicists and third-party payers have been brought together to shed light on this critical subject of health care rationing and what the alternatives might be for tomorrow.In this volume, one of the two major issues discussed was whether cost containment and efficiency can obviate the need for a policy restricting costly but beneficial life-sustaining care in the ICU. Or will the United States move to a system like Great Britain's where costly but beneficial services are limited at a societal level by implicit rationing by physicians? The second major issue, dealing with the allocation of services, asked whether physicians must act as society's gatekeepers in distributing medical services or remain the patients agent as called for by the Hippocratic Oath. Who, other than the physician and patient, should be brought into the process of deciding whether to limit beneficial services?

Derecho al desistimiento

Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona f�sica que act�e con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesi�n.

Informaci�n sobre el derecho de desistimiento

Derecho legal de desistimiento

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 d�as sin dar ning�n motivo.

El periodo de desistimiento vencer� a los 14 d�as desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesi�n f�sica del �ltimo bien o del �ltimo lote o pieza.

Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electr�nica y env�e una declaraci�n clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a trav�s de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electr�nico).

Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que env�e su comunicaci�n relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.

Efectos del desistimiento

Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de env�o (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de env�o que no sea el tipo de env�o est�ndar m�s econ�mico que ofrecemos).

Podemos hacer una deducci�n del reembolso por la p�rdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la p�rdida es el resultado de una manipulaci�n innecesaria por su parte.

Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a m�s tardar, 14 d�as despu�s de que se nos informe de su decisi�n de rescindir este contrato.

Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utiliz� para la transacci�n inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrir� en ning�n cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.

Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.

Deber� devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Swan Trading Company, GEORGETOWN, Texas, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo m�ximo de 14 d�as a partir del d�a en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercanc�a antes de que venza el periodo de 14 d�as. Tendr� que asumir los gastos directos de devoluci�n de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminuci�n del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulaci�n distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las caracter�sticas y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:

La entrega de peri�dicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepci�n de los contratos de suscripci�n; y
El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, acept� que pod�amos empezar a entregarlo y que no podr�a desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
