Description

Explore the complex realities of iatrogenic illness with Medical Harm: Historical, Conceptual and Ethical Dimensions of Iatrogenic Illness. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work addresses a critical issue in modern healthcare: the fact that up to thirteen percent of hospital admissions result from adverse effects of diagnosis or treatment. With almost seventy percent of these complications being preventable, understanding the roots of medical harm is essential for practitioners and scholars alike. This book provides a deep look into the obligation to "do no harm," a principle central to medical conduct since ancient times. By integrating history, philosophy, medical ethics, and empirical data, the text examines the phenomenon of medical harm through multiple lenses. Readers will gain insights into the appropriateness of care and the management of acceptable risk in healthcare delivery. It is a vital resource for those studying the intersection of medical practice, ethical responsibility, and patient safety.
