from Part III - Diversity of Desires and Limits of Liberty
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 May 2025
The series of cases discussed in Part III are humbling reminders of how intertwined our patients and their support systems are with healthcare practitioners. TJ, Jimmy, Mrs. Blue, and Mrs. Winthorpe all have unique experiences in different corners of the healthcare system. Each case touches on the familiar experience of a healthcare team identifying what they believe is in the best interest of patient, and there being a factor, often the patient themselves, complicating that coming to fruition. Their experiences, and different experiences of privilege and power, or disempowerment are salient elements of their stories. These “haunting” and morally distressing cases are revisited with an additional lens of diversity, equity, identity, and bias and considerations for how ethicists might more fully integrate these critical perspectives into ethics consultation.
