Summary

What can a 17th century Japanese warrior teach 21st century clinicians about healthcare ethics? More than you might think.

In this fascinating book, Dr. Dominic M. 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

Discerning between loyalty to colleagues and loyalty to ethical principles

Cultivating daily self-reflection and moral resilience

Fostering integrity and accountability across healthcare institutions

At times profound and humorous, Dr. Etli makes ancient samurai wisdom accessible and relevant to navigating the intricate, high-stakes dilemmas faced by modern clinicians, researchers and healthcare leaders.

Both philosophical and practical, Zen and the Art of Medical Ethics will resonate deeply with medical professionals seeking timeless ethical insights to guide them through an increasingly complex clinical landscape. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to elevate their healthcare practice with clarity and honor.

Discover how principles like mindfulness, compassion, and honor can guide you through today's complex healthcare landscape. Join the ranks of healthcare professionals who are revolutionizing their approach to ethics.

Highly recommended

Highly recommended. Author is physician herself and understands when to call it quits. Author is a go--getter and quite revealing of some of her own mis-calls. Well worth reading.

Excellent! Must read!

This was as informative as it was moving. I'm left with a deep sense of gratitude for the work she has done and will continue to do.
