In this thoughtful and sharply argued examination of modern medical ethics, noted bioethicist Ruth Macklin explores the growing tensions between institutional medicine, physician authority, patient autonomy, and bureaucratic health-care systems. Through case studies and ethical analysis, Macklin critiques the ways hospitals, insurers, legal pressures, and administrative policies can undermine individualized patient care and informed consent. Drawing from real-world medical controversies of the late twentieth century, Enemies of Patients addresses issues including patient rights, medical liability, hospital governance, cost containment, and ethical decision-making in clinical settings. Macklin's work remains relevant to contemporary debates surrounding healthcare systems, bioethics, and the physician-patient relationship. Carefully packed and shipped in a box.
