When money and principles clash: the ethics of a surgical teaching service.

Abstract:

:During your preoperative visit, a very wealthy patient, Gill Bates, who donated a wing to the large teaching hospital in which you practice, has an unusual request: He does not want any residents involved with his care. He is scheduled for an open infrarenal aneurysmectomy. He explains that his decision is based on the experience of a relative many years ago who was harmed by a resident's error. You clarify that you will do the procedure but that this is a teaching hospital and residents provide excellent assistance and postoperative care. He is resolute in demanding that only grown-up surgeons provide his care.

  • Common carotid artery occlusion with patent internal and external carotid arteries: diagnosis and surgical management.

    abstract:PURPOSE:Occlusion of the common carotid artery (CCA) is generally associated with occlusion of the ipsilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery (ECA). Occasionally, however, collateral circulation to the ECA may preserve patency of the ICA via retrograde perfusion through the bulb. These patien...
