In this book, the author proposes a notion of virtuous physician to address these crises. He discusses the nature of the two crises and efforts by the medical profession to resolve them and then he briefly introduces the notion of virtuous physician and outlines its basic features. Further, virtue theory is discussed, along with virtue ethics and virtue epistemology, and specific virtues, especially as they relate to medicine. The author also explores the ontological priority of caring as the metaphysical virtue for grounding the notion of virtuous physician, and two essential ontic virtues, care and competence. In addition to this, he examines the transformation of competence into prudent wisdom and care into personal radical love to forge the compound virtue of prudent love, which is sufficient for defining the virtuous physician. Lastly, two clinical case stories are reconstructed which illustrate the various virtues associated with medical practice, and it is discussed how the notion of virtuous physician addresses the quality-of-care and professionalism crises.

The article talks about four principles of biomedical ethics, respect for autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice. The methodology which was a critique against the present biomedical ethics, was formulated in 1979 by Tom Beauchamp and James Childress. By applying principlism, the paramedics have to constantly understand three components: application, balancing efforts, and specification. The four fundamental principles of biomedical ethics (autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice) have proposed a useful methodology to deal with cases, such as the doctor-patient relations, the use of life support systems, or any research using man as subject.
