The book focuses on the role of healthcare practitioners and an array of other professionals across industries in identifying wrongdoers, reporting behavior, and testifying on behalf of the state or government agencies. It also covers circumstances in which law enforcement relies on medicine for evidence or support in ways that compromise medical ethics. By reporting or testifying as experts, a range of people, from specialist pediatricians to flight attendants, can have a life-changing impact on individuals in the name of public health or medicine. People who work in hospitals, social work settings, and even airlines, often contribute to wrongful and aggressive criminal and civil actions against society's most vulnerable people, including parents, older adults, and people living with poverty. The book explores a number of examples, including police use of medicine as a restraint or the collection of blood as evidence and the risks of opting out of certain scientific discoveries, such as pharmaceuticals. It describes the harms that may come to those who engage in suboptimal but generally heretofore legal child-raising behaviors, and people opting to live independently as older adults. These can lead to civil and criminal charges when noticed by those in a position of power. Medicine, Power, and the Law is an important contribution for researchers and practitioners in medicine, the law, and the expanding field of bioethics. 650 0 $a Medical laws and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Public health laws $z United States. 650 0 $a Medical ethics $z United States. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States. 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Medical ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014081 650 7 $a Medical laws and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014309 650 7 $a Public health laws. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082364 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717012441.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=81C8CA1ADDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
