Their disinterested stance gives them credibility and authority. But what happens when doctors' supposed impartiality comes under fire? In \u003cem\u003eMedicine and Morality, \u003c\/em\u003eHelen Kang examines three moments in the history of the medical profession in Canada, spanning more than 150 years, when doctors' moral and scientific authority was questioned. She shows that, in these moments of crisis, the profession was compelled to re-examine its priorities, strategize in order to regain credibility, and redefine what it means to be a good doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMedicine and Morality\u003c\/em\u003e reveals that professional medicine defines integrity, objectivity, accountability, neutrality, and other ideals according to its social, political, historical, and economic struggles with the state, the media, and even the public. In other words, moral and scientific standards in medicine are determined in direct relation to, not in spite of, conflict of interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Toward a Theory of Medical Disinterestedness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 A Brotherhood of Scientific Gentlemen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Building Bridges, Making Amends\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 The Paradox of Medical Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes; Selected Bibliography; Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531136004376,"sku":"9780774862127","price":55.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/medicine-and-morality-crises-in-the-history-of-a-profession-hardback-9780774862127","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
