Caring Well: Religion, Narrative, and Health Care Ethics

by David H. Smith (Editor)

The complexities of healthcare situations often include the religious commitments of patients. They should include those of healthcare professionals as well. In this fresh approach to problems in medical ethics, contributors provide case studies, interviews, and personal narratives that help ethicists listen more attentively and offer wiser critiques of the moral issues involved.

As much scholarship as there was in this book, even with the focus on narratives of doctors, nurses, etc., I thought there could have been more said, particularly on the subject of faith and how faith informs the ethics of those in the health profession. Still, there were a few things in there I found helpful to know as a chaplain.
