About the Book

States the author, "Each year up to 98,000 patients die as a result of [medical] mistakes, more than are killed by motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS." Her book looks at what should happen after the damage--the injury or death of a patient--has occurred. Berlinger brings to bear on the issues the perspectives of Christian (and some Jewish) social ethics. Her focus is on the physical, financial, psychological, and spiritual needs of patients and families affected by medical error, and she concludes with a theory of forgiveness after harm. This book will be read by professionals and some students in bioethics, health policy, and religion.

About the Author :
Nancy Berlinger is the deputy director and associate for religious studies at the Hastings Center.

Review :
In an environment in which the aftermath of medical harm is characterized by adversarial relationships and self-protective maneuvering, Berlinger's proposals offer an alternative that ultimately better serves patients, families, clinicians, and health-care institutions. After Harm has much to offer students, educators, administrators, and policymakers. -- Gregg VandeKieft Literature and Medicine Forgiveness on the part of an injured patient, or the family if the patient has died, comes as a result of both words and actions on the part of doctors and hospitals, says Nancy Berlinger in her thoughtful and well-researched book. -- Gregory M. Lamb Christian Science Monitor This is an important book that deserves to be read widely. Berlinger has done a signal service by writing it. -- Stephen E. Lammers Christian Century Certainly recommended reading. -- Mark Welch, Ph.D. Metapsychology Provides a valuable counterbalance to innumerable calls for systemic reforms to reduce medical error. -- Farr A. Curlin British Medical Journal Thoughtful and well-researched. -- Gregory M. Lamb Chicago Sun-Times An accessible, thoughtful treatment of this sensitive topic, which carefully addresses the concerns of all parties affected by medical harm... This book should be read by anyone working within a healthcare institution. -- Christine Vitrano Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics A refreshing effort to connect error and forgiveness in a way that encourages the sort of debate the issue deserves. -- Curtis W. Hart Journal of Religion and Health Presents an opportune and refreshing perspective on medical error. -- Summer Johnson Hastings Center Report The text in my view makes an important contribution to the understanding of the relationship between physician and patient in the face of medical error... The author states she hopes non-physician health care professionals will find her work of use, to that end she has succeeded. -- Anne-Marie Brown Provincial Health Ethics Network I loved this book... It is a tight, tasty, spiritual and intellectual morsel. -- Robert E. Cranston, MD, MA, FAAN Ethics and Medicine
