This volume reprints and updates materials from the 2003 edition of Health Care and Ethics. Hall (law and public health, Wake Forest U.), Bobinski (law, U. of British Columbia) and Orentlicher (law, Indiana U. School of Law) promote a conceptualization of health care law that is organized around patient/physician relationships, state oversight of doctors and patients, and the institutions surrounding treatment relationships. The authors develop the themes of quality, ethics, access and cost throughout these three topics. They use two overview cases, In re Baby K and Wickline v. State, to illustrate the concepts discussed. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
