Question

Four doctors—a utilitarian, a Kantian, a rights theorist, and a virtue theorist—are working simultaneously in an emergency room. What tasks might each gravitate toward or be most proficient in? What patients with what conditions might prefer to have one of these doctors directly overseeing their case as opposed to another? Which doctor might the patients want to be overseeing the entire emergency room?

Answer 1

Utilitarianism makes the rightness or wrongness of an act depend upon the action. Here two arms of thoughts may arise with decision making. example: When a doctor duty to avoid breach and maintain confidentiality as an ethical principle of autonomy and informed consent breach happen with the care of physically and mentally challenged and newborn and handling vegetarian patient.
  Kantian theory act in a way that treats humanity. respects patient autonomy and dignity as an ethical consideration for the patient and physician. duty to care as a special obligation. example when physicians working in an ED they exposed to virulent disease than other doctors. The physician knows the limit of duty where they choose.
  Right theorists applied for medical decision making avoid risk communication and improve intervention. The right theory focus on respecting autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice helps identify ethical challenges in the emergency department with a more comprehensive ethical view.
virtue theorist focuses on the good of the individual patient and physical patient relationships. It is appropriate for emergency medicine, this theory increases the sense of importance and urgency of emergency care. It includes medical discipline and specialty of emergency medicine.
Virtue theorist doctors might be overseeing the patient in the entire emergency room. emergency physician practice virtue theory when they provide clinical care for patients who represent to the emergency department. They ensure patient needs and provide followup care with efficiency, diagnostic skills, and clinical management.
