In this Brief, Daniel Sokol interprets 'doing medical ethics' broadly to
capture the application of ethical knowledge to a concrete situation,
rather than just resolving a moral dilemma contained within a case. It
instructs clinicians on how to identify and analyse a clinical ethics
case, and guides the reader in publishing in general medical, specialist
medical, and medical ethics journals, and through presenting on ethical
issues at conferences. In addition to this, advice on how to teach
medical ethics, and apply for research ethics approval, is included.
"...an admirably short and clear guide to doing medical ethics... I
welcome this book and urge medical students and doctors of all grades to
read it in paper, on-line or on your portable screen reader." Sir
Richard Thompson, President of the Royal College of Physicians, UK
"Dr. Sokol has provided the field with a much needed, easy and
comprehensive tool on 'doing' clinical ethics that all should have in
their back pockets." Dr. Nneka Mokwunye, Director of Bioethics,
Washington Hospital Center, Washington DC, USA
"This is a magnificent guide to clinical ethics and reflects the
author's very well known and widely respected academic gravitas and real
life experience in clinical ethics. It is a "must read" for anyone
involved in the field." Mr. Vassilios Papalois, Consultant Surgeon and
Chairman, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Clinical Ethics
Committee, UK
