reviewed Hospitals: What They Are and How they Work on June 21, 2016
Hospitals
An established classic in bioethics, this book is a kind of manifesto for Shared Decision Making. Its heart is in the right place, and its advocacy of honest, open communication between clinicians and patients is spot on. I found, though, that the book has multiple factual errors (including a strange nested error relating to the advent of the term "informed consent" in legal scholarship) and its reliance on freudianism as an actual account of human cognition and consciousness wears thin quickly. But the strong advocacy for something so clearly important as shared decision making makes it relatively easy to overlook the problems in the book. For historians of shared decision making and bioethics, this is a key text.
