- Abstract
"Thinking About Medicine: An Introduction to The Philosophy of Healthcare" is a book review published in the British Journal of General Practice. The reviewer, Andrew Papanikitas, recommends the book as an engaging and relevant text for clinicians and a valuable resource for medical philosophy. The author, David Misselbrook, draws on his experience in medical education and as a GP to illustrate concepts with case reports and key texts. The book also includes a section on intercultural ethics, influenced by the author's time in a Middle-Eastern Arabic culture. Papanikitas emphasizes the importance of philosophy in medicine for intellectual and moral articulation, and praises the book for its ability to enhance clear thinking and decision-making.
