In this episode we look at above all the call to mercy in healthcare. With this base, we dive into the rights and responsibilities of the doctor (healthcare provider in general) and patient, and also the fundamental ways that the relationship between the two can be lived out:
1. Contractual (not ideal)
2. Paternalistic (not ideal)
3. Autonomous (not ideal)
4. Covenantal (this is what I'm talking about!)
It should be noted that the right to healthcare is not absolute. We live in a world with limits: limits of time, limits of money, limits of supplies, limit on the years of our life.
