NAVIGATING THE COMPLEXITIES OF MEDICAL ERROR AND ITS ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS

Kadakia, Esha, 0009-0002-2872-9605 05 1900 (has links)
The discourse surrounding medical error and its ethical implications has become a pivotal focus within healthcare. Thus, this thesis aims to delve into the multifaceted aspects of and influences on medical error and its disclosure, with each chapter progressively shedding light on their complexities and ethical considerations. The overarching argument posits that despite society’s general intolerance for errors and a recognized aim for perfection, error remains an unavoidable and inevitable aspect of the practice of medicine and medical training. There exists an inherent fallibility in healthcare juxtaposed against the gravity of the profession and its consequent medical and legal ramifications when something goes awry. The following ten chapters collectively highlight the intricacies of error management in healthcare through discussions on societal expectations, medical training, error analysis, accountability, systemic influences, patient-provider relationships, legal implications, and bioethical tenets. Ultimately, advocating for a cultural shift towards greater transparency, collective accountability, systemic quality improvement, and support for healthcare professionals to address errors effectively while upholding patient safety and trust. This thesis also recognizes the ethical imperative of error disclosure and the importance of fostering a balanced approach that acknowledges both the inevitability of errors in healthcare and the significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens caused by medical errors. / Urban Bioethics

Subjectivity and Fallibility in the Instrumental and Epistemic Defenses of a "Right to Do Wrong"

Wright, Thomas 07 January 2010 (has links)
An instrumental defense of a right to do wrong is plausible because we cannot directly intervene in an individual's choices so as to effectively promote that individual's moral good, if her moral good is conceived as being some form of individual autonomy. An epistemic defense is also plausible if we reorient J.S. Mill's epistemological argument for his Harm Principle in "On Liberty" to center on the agent's knowledge, rather than on the interfering observer's knowledge. Restrictions on harmless acts that are imposed because the acts are wrong are only justifiable to that individual if she herself knows that her acts are wrong. Both approaches depend upon the limited subjectivity and fallibility of the agent or interfering observer. Moreover, both approaches make the justification for a right to knowingly do wrong problematic.

No. of bitstreams: 1 victorhugodecastrodutra.pdf: 751636 bytes, checksum: 0258d6d006b1d24aee758a0c34cc4d20 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-06-29 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / A presente dissertação pretende explorar o conceito de mal, na obra de Paul Ricoeur (1923- 2005). Para isso avaliamos sua obra como um todo, mas com foco em três livros, pois os mesmos destacam os momentos de interpretação, do nosso autor, no que tange sua aproximação do problema do mal. São eles: THE SYMBOLISM OF EVIL, O MAL: UM DESAFIO À FILOSOFIA E À TEOLOGIA, e O SI-MESMO COMO UM OUTRO. Contudo, invertemos a ordem cronológica dos textos para uma abordagem original que prima chegar à maneira de como Paul Ricoeur propõe uma solução ao problema do mal. Desenvolvemos como o autor interpreta que a história da filosofia e a história da teologia desenvolveram o problema do mal, e a partir daí expomos como nosso autor o aborda, isto é na perspectiva de uma pessoa que sofre. Para então verificar como as raízes da interpretação e possível solução são encontradas nos mitos e símbolos do mal, e mais como o homem é falível e frágil em relação ao problema do mal. Para então, enfim, explorar sua pequena ética. Onde acreditamos ser possível concluir o combate ao mal através das instituições justas. / This present thesis will explore the concept of evil, in the work of Paul Ricoeur (1923-2005). To do this we evaluate his work as a whole, but focused on three books, as they highlight moments of interpretation, of our author, regarding their approach to the problem of evil. They are: THE SYMBOLISM OF EVIL, EVIL: A CHALLENGE TO PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY, and THE ONESELF AS ANOTHER. But we inverted the chronological order of the texts to make an original approach that excels as a way to get to Paul Ricoeur proposal of a solution to the problem of evil. We have exposed how, as the author interprets the history of philosophy and history of theology, he developed the problem of evil, and from there too we have exposed how our author addresses it, that is, from the perspective of a person who suffers. To then see how the roots of the interpretation and possible solution, for the problem, are founded in myths and symbols of evil, and more, how man is fallible, and fragile in relation to the problem of evil. By then, finally, exploring his small ethics. Where we believe we can finish with the confrontation against evil through just institutions.
