Resolving Ethical Dilemmas: A Guide for Clinicians
Abstract
Dr Bernard Lo, the author ofResolving Ethical Dilemmas: A Guide for Clinicians, declares in his preface that "the goal of this book is to help clinicians resolve the mundane ethical issues in patient care as well as the dilemmas that keep them awake at night." I am persuaded that Dr Lo has achieved his goal and that, indeed, he delivers another important benefit: clinicians who sleep untroubled by concerns over ethical issues in their practice of medicine will, if they read and reflect upon this book, be sensitized to the fact that every aspect of clinical medicine confronts the health care worker with daily ethical issues. As professor of medicine and director of the Program in Medical Ethics at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine, Dr Lo is eminently qualified to produce a guide for clinicians in the resolution of ethical dilemmas, and he has done

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
