Doctors, Data, and Duty: Ethics in the Healing Professions is a profound and timely exploration of the moral challenges shaping modern medicine. As technology transforms diagnosis, genetics reshapes humanity, and global crises test compassion, this book brings readers back to the essence of healing - conscience, courage, and care. Written in a reflective and human-centered style, it examines how ethical reasoning guides every aspect of the medical profession - from bedside decisions and digital privacy to global justice and scientific discovery. Each chapter moves beyond abstract theory, offering insight into the living practice of ethics: how doctors confront error, how data challenges dignity, how education molds virtue, and how the future of medicine must remain deeply human. Bridging philosophy, clinical experience, and the realities of modern healthcare, this book invites physicians, students, policymakers, and the public to rethink what it truly means to heal in an age of machines, algorithms, and complexity. "Ethics does not restrain medicine - it redeems it." Whether you are a clinician seeking perspective, a student learning professional values, or a researcher navigating moral questions in science, Doctors, Data, and Duty offers guidance, wisdom, and hope for an ethical future in medicine.
