Safety and Ethics in Healthcare: A Guide to Getting it Right
As more and more people survive into old age, the burden of caring for them becomes greater and greater. Although it is now possible to alleviate many of the afflictions that beset mankind, no society can afford to pay for all the healthcare that is now available or technically possible. People working in healthcare increasingly have to do more with less. Rationing takes many forms, mostly covert, and the less privileged in most societies end up struggling to get their proper share of the available healthcare resources. All too often, those in the front-line have to deal with the consequences of this 'rationing by default': healthcare professionals find themselves rushed off their feet simpl...
Euthanasia - A Doctrine of Death
Assisted Suicide is extremely controversial no matter from which perspective you look at it. It is illegal in most countries and that is why the law is given high priority in all chapters. A whole chapter is dedicated to its legal perspective alone. This book not only views it legally but all dimensions – economic, moral, philosophical and biological; are vividly explained. Dear readers can easily engross themselves in whichever genre they are interested in. But frankly speaking, no matter which dimension we took up; it was categorically proved with explicit logic that active euthanasia is not good for society. You can read for yourselves and find that you will also be convinced from all angles. A fantastic scope of research is also proposed that combines meta-physics with the latest biotech advances. If anyone can pursue that; it can become a groundbreaking finding for the entire humanity. All are welcome in this journey called ‘Doctrine of Death’.

In this provocative true story of tragedy, the authors recount the journey travelled and what was learned by, at the t...
Anesthesia
"An obsessive, mystical, terrifying, and even phantasmagorical exploration of anesthesia’s shadowy terra incognita." —The New Yorker Anesthetize: to render insensible First there’s the injection, then the countdown—and next thing you know, you’re awake. Anesthesia: The Gift of Oblivion and the Mystery of Consciousness is the story of the time in between, an exploration of that most crucial and baffling gift of modern medicine: the disappearing act that enables us to undergo procedures that would otherwise be impossibly, often fatally, painful. In the past 150 years, anesthesia has made surgical intervention routine, from open–heart surgery to the facelift. But how much do anesthe...
