Written by a doctor and a lawyer, both with many years of practical experience, this book provides a unique and in-depth coverage of the most important ethical and moral issues (and their legal implications) facing healthcare professionals, lawyers and the general public alike. It represents a useful outline of where medicine and the law stand at present and hints at where they will be going in relation to each other in the coming years. 517 3 $aLegal & Ethical Aspects of Healthcare 606 $aMedical care$zGreat Britain 606 $aPatients$xCivil rights$zGreat Britain 606 $aPatients$xLegal status, laws, etc$zGreat Britain 615 0$aMedical care 615 0$aPatients$xCivil rights 615 0$aPatients$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a344.73041 700 $aMcLean$b S.
