'The book addresses a huge range of topics that will be familiar to many readers from performing procedures and the place of humour on the ward round to whistle blowing on colleagues - the list is exhaustive.' British Medical Journal
'The mode of writing adds appeal and immediacy to the text. Authors frequently tell stories of difficulties during their own training which complement the stories of the students and residents much of the advice is wise and helpful, and the writers avoid platitudinous suggestions about standing up for 'the right' in the face of instructions from seniors and teachers a very commendable and very complex piece of work, whose breadth, thoroughness, wisdom and practicality make it readable and valuable. Kushner and Thomasma are to be congratulated for addressing such an important, and usually occult, field of ethics. In this undertaking, trainees and students have found a voice.' Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
' this book would be a useful read for almost anyone concerned about the state of modern medical education the cases are well organized, and each chapter is followed by discussion questions physicians and medical trainees will identify with the scenarios discussed in this book. One common thread throughout these disparate and sad tales is the failure to meet rather obvious ethical and legal standards of high quality care.' The Left Atrium
