Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Abstract
The world of clinical medicine is rife with conflict among caregivers, patients and their surrogates. This should not surprise given medicine's scientific, psychological, and language complexities, high stakes, fragmentation of care, multiplicity of players, time constraints, institutional politics, cultural differences, competing philosophies and economic dimensions. "Hospital life with its byzantine array of moving parts layered atop the unpredictable rhythms of illness is a permanent state of flux."
