The rights of patients

by George J. Annas

"The Rights of Patients also addresses contemporary health care issues that continue to be disputed, including how to reform American medicine, improve patient safety, provide adequate pain management, honor the wishes of currently incompetent patients, reform medical research rules, and increase responsiveness to patients' needs at all levels of care. The volume is an invaluable resource not only for patients and their families but also for physicians, hospital administrators, medical and nursing students, and other health care workers. The book also includes a helpful appendix on Internet resources."--BOOK JACKET.
