Near Fine First Edition hardcover in Near Fine dust jacket. Binding remains firm and square with clean, unmarked pages. Jacket shows light rubbing, mild edge wear, and slight creasing at spine ends. Text block exhibits mild age toning with a small faint mark to fore-edge visible in photographs. A clean, presentable copy overall. In this thoughtful and sharply argued examination of modern medical ethics, noted bioethicist Ruth Macklin explores the growing tensions between institutional medicine, physician authority, patient autonomy, and bureaucratic health-care systems. Through case studies and ethical analysis, Macklin critiques the ways hospitals, insurers, legal pressures, and administrative policies can undermine individualized patient care and informed consent. Drawing from real-world medical controversies of the late twentieth century, Enemies of Patients addresses issues including patient rights, medical liability, hospital governance, cost containment, and ethical decision-making in clinical settings. Macklin's work remains relevant to contemporary debates surrounding healthcare systems, bioethics, and the physician-patient relationship. Carefully packed and shipped in a box. Shipped via USPS with tracking provided. International shipping available. Additional photographs available upon request. Please review photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
