Isi artikel

This essay is composed of five stories writeen by practicing phyicians about their patients. Each clinical story describes a challenging ethical condition-potential abuse of medical power, gravely ill and probably over-treated newborns, iatrogenic narcotic addiction, deceived dying people. Rather than singling out one ethical conflict to resolve or adjudicate, the authors attempt, through literary methods, to grasp the singular experiences of their patients and to act according tothe deep structures of their patient's lives. Examining these five stories with simple literay tools-attention to narrative frames, time, plot, and desire-reveals the mechanism through whivh acts of writing and reading contribute to clinical and ethical actions.
