Bücher von James A. Marcum

This book proposes the notion of "the virtuous physician" to address the twin crises of modern medicine: quality-of-care and professionalism. The author reconstructs two clinical case stories, to show how the virtuous physician addresses the challenges of today.

In this book the author explores the shifting philosophical boundaries of modern medical knowledge and practice occasioned by the crisis of quality-of-care, especially in terms of the various humanistic adjustments to the biomedical model.
