In this book, William May considers the images that shape the convictions and daily practice of the physician–images that can order experience and present the practitioner with imperatives by which to live. This updated edition will once again challenge physicians, students, and teachers of medical ethics to reach a deeper understanding of the physician’s place in society.
William F. May is Cary M. Maguire Professor Emeritus at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, in Dallas, Texas. He is the author of The Patient’s Ordeal and Testing the Medical Covenant.
