In this fascinating book, Dr. Dominic Etli takes readers on an illuminating journey through the ethical labyrinths of modern medicine, drawing unexpected connections to the ancient wisdom of the samurai.
Blending vivid storytelling with philosophical insights, Dr. Etli reveals how timeless concepts like mindfulness, compassion, honor and justice from Zen, Bushido and the Hagakure provide invaluable guidance for today's ethical challenges in healthcare.
Through in-depth analysis and compelling real-world case studies, the book explores essential healthcare ethics topics such as:
The critical role of mindfulness and presence in clinical decision-making
Striking the complex balance between compassion and justice
