The idea that agent-regret is an important phenomenon in healthcare seems clear. Enck and Condley (2025) do an excellent job giving examples where clinician agent-regret seems understandable. Nonetheless, they focus almost exclusively on the importance of preserving clinician agency in these cases which, while likewise important, fails to fully capture their significance. Cases such as Dr. C’s and Nurse M’s are ones where there are clearly victims even if there are no wrongdoers; this is likely part of why Dr. C (...) and Nurse M feel alienated from colleagues who insist they have nothing to feel badly about, having acted in line with professional guidelines. Addressing the ongoing concerns of those victims may be helpful for all parties involved, including perhaps alleviating some of the clinicians’ agent-regret. But regardless of its effects, recognizing the parties impacted by Dr. C’s and Nurse M’s actions is an important part of properly understanding and taking responsibility for those actions. (shrink)
