  • A short history of medical ethics.Albert R. Jonsen - 2000 - New York: Oxford University press.
    A physician says, "I have an ethical obligation never to cause the death of a patient," another responds, "My ethical obligation is to relieve pain even if the patient dies." The current argument over the role of physicians in assisting patients to die constantly refers to the ethical duties of the profession. References to the Hippocratic Oath are often heard. Many modern problems, from assisted suicide to accessible health care, raise questions about the traditional ethics of medicine and the medical (...)

  • "Life is short, medicine is long": Reflections on a bioethical insight.Albert R. Jonsen - 2006 - Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 31 (6):667 – 673.
    The famous first aphorism of Hippocrates, "Life is short, the art is long" was long considered a perfect summary of medical ethics. Modern physicians find the words impossible to understand. But it can be interpreted as a fundamental insight into the ethical problems of modern medicine. The technology of modern scientific medicine can sustain life, even when life is losing its vitality. How should decisions be made about the use of technology and by whom? This is the incessant question of (...)

  • The Cambridge Companion to Hippocrates.Peter E. Pormann (ed.) - 2018 - Cambridge University Press.
    Hippocrates is a towering figure in Greek medicine. Dubbed the 'father of medicine', he has inspired generations of physicians over millennia in both the East and West. Despite this, little is known about him, and scholars have long debated his relationship to the works attributed to him in the so-called 'Hippocratic Corpus', although it is undisputed that many of the works within it represent milestones in the development of Western medicine. In this Companion, an international team of authors introduces major (...)

    Hippocrates, celebrated as the Father of Medicine, emphasized the importance of observation in diagnosis and prognosis. In so doing, he argued that the observant physician could draw on both senses and logic in interpreting clinical findings for the benefit of the patient. Among his many writings is a collection of aphorisms that remain highly relevant to the practice of medicine to this day. The first of these is the best known: which can be translated as: Deceptively simple in structure, this (...)

  • Disrupted dialogue: medical ethics and the collapse of physician-humanist communication (1770-1980).Robert M. Veatch - 2005 - New York: Oxford University Press.
    Medical ethics changed dramatically in the past 30 years because physicians and humanists actively engaged each other in discussions that sometimes led to confrontation and controversy, but usually have improved the quality of medical decision-making. Before then medical ethics had been isolated for almost two centuries from the larger philosophical, social, and religious controversies of the time. There was, however, an earlier period where leaders in medicine and in the humanities worked closely together and both fields were richer for it. (...)
