Clinical ethics consultations can be haunting. Ethics consultants have few opportunities to reflect on the affective impact of their work. This book offers detailed cases, confessions, reflections, regrets, and triumphs experienced by ethics consultants. The authors bravely share what haunts them about the complex and demanding work of ethics consultation. Consultants experience moral distress but it’s rarely discussed. Our values are woven into the consultation. We’re not always sure if this is for better or worse. One poignant case may haunt us for our entire career. The second edition of the book includes the cases written by original authors regarding neonatology, pediatrics, palliative care, psychiatry, religious and cultural values, clinical innovation, professionalism, and organizational ethics. The book includes educational activities for ethics committees, consultants, and students at all levels of study. In the second edition, new authors reflect on clinical ethics practice, highlight how our practices have changed, and reflect on equity and diversity dimensions of patient care and ethics consultations.
