Ethical Principles in a Time of Covid19- A Commentary
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2020, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
A Texas hospital reports their back is against the wall and they may be sending some patients home to die. Hospitals in many areas report staffing shortages due to the pandemic. Many other providers report stressed out workers, patients and family members. I reviewed several lay press pieces regarding the pandemic in the past few days, conspicuous by its absence was any mention of the four principles of medical ethics first outlined in 1985 by Beauchamp and Childress.
