Anotacija:

     Medical practice is an inherently ethical enterprise. More than ever before, medical practice requires that medical professionals develop and exercise high ethical stan­dards. Health care practitioners who ignore basic concepts of medical ethics risk exposing their patients to serious harm, and open themselves and their institutions to charges of malpractice.

     Clinical Bioethics provides for the busy clinical professional a concise, comprehensive complex new field.
