What Patients Teach

The Everyday Ethics of Health Care

By: Larry R. Churchill,Joseph B. Fanning,David Schenck

Being a patient is a unique interpersonal experience but it is also a universal human experience. The relationships formed when we are patients can also teach some of life's most important lessons, and these relationships provide a special window into ethics, especially the ethics of healthcare professionals. This book answers two basic questions: As patients see it, what things allow relationships with healthcare providers to become therapeutic? What can this teach us about healthcare ethics? This volume presents detailed descriptions and analyses of 50 interviews with 58 patients, representing a wide spectrum of illnesses and clinician specialties. The authors argue that the structure, rhythm, and horizon of routine patient care are ultimately grounded in patient vulnerability and clinician responsiveness. From the short interview segments, the longer vignettes and the full patient stories presented here emerge the neglected dimensions of healthcare and healthcare ethics. What becomes visible is an ethics of everyday interdependence, with mutual responsibilities that follow from this moral symbiosis. Both professional expressions of healthcare ethics and the field of bioethics need to be informed and reformed by this distinctive, more patient-centered, turn in how we understand both patient care as a whole and the ethics of care more specifically. The final chapters present revised codes of ethics for health professionals, as well as the implications for medical and health professions education.

The Catholic University of America

A Centennial History

By: C. Joseph Nuesse

The university has been known for the excellence of its teaching . . .; its immense influence on American Catholic education and the intensity and liveliness of its intramural theological debates, reflecting the stresses of the modern world on the church. This informative history, by an emeritus professor of sociology, traces the university's development, omitting no controversy of relevance to current issues."--Washington Post Book World

The Patriot's Way

Everything You Need to Know about the POW/MIA Issue!

By: Joseph M. Corrigan

The Prisoner of War Missing in Action issue in America has long been a confusing and complex issue. Better than 83% of active duty personnel believe that Americans are still being held against their will in Southeast Asia. Many American's, veterans in particular have invested many man hours and lobbying efforts to increase the awareness of the issue to the public and elected public officials as well. They've done a good job. The fact remains however that with so many people of strong and qualified opinions on this issue, little has actually been done. That is the tragic legacy of this concern. It's not enough to say that Vietnam was twenty years ago, or for that matter Korea, World War II, and World War I -were even further away in time because during the Gulf War we actually committed the same mistakes. Many people have lost faith in the leadership of America for what was done to the abandoned servicemen and women of our armed forces. For the benefit of our nation and all those who serve our country today and tomorrow in uniform, "The Patriot's Way", was written. The idea was to create a body of work that would display a personal commitment to the issue and reveal government documents that give the clearest explanation of the issue. In addition to show the "good" work that the government is capable of doing when allowed to do so to help restore faith in the process. The book is sectioned first with the personal story of the author and his work in Vietnam on the POW/MIA issue and the personal commitment of time and money he committed to the cause. Following that are two government reports that never received widespread coverage but which are historic works deserving to be read by every veteran, active duty person, parents of both and those who aspire to service in uniform and every American. The work is not intended to discourage service but to inspire patriotism at home in the citizen population and within the ranks of the military by confirming our dedication to their total well being. To also serve notice to foreign powers that the American people have the power to revisit any issue they want and that this issue is one that will always receive very close examination by the American public. The included government reports were edited by the author making them easier to read by enlarging type where necessary and formatting for easier reading making them a work that any serious follower of the POW/MIA issue will treasure for a great many years to come. The work is suggested reading for all military personnel, active, retired or honorably discharged personnel, family members of same, students of history, international diplomacy, international humanitarian interests and anyone with the slightest interest in the POW/MIA issue.
