Pilgrims in medicine : conscience, legalism, and human rights : an allegory of medical humanities, foundational virtues, ethical principles, law and human rights in medical, personal, and professional development
This arrestingly novel work develops a normative synthesis of medical humanities, virtue ethics, medical ethics, health law and human rights. It presents an ambitious, complex and coherent argument for the reconceptualisation of the doctor-patient relationship and its regulation utilising approaches often thought of as being separate, if not opposed (virtue-based ethics and universal human rights). The case is argued gracefully, with moderation, but also with respect for opposing positions
