    (1 other version)The concept of disease in palliative medicine.Joachim Widder & Monika Glawischnig-Goschnik - 2002 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 5 (2):191-197.
    The paper first defines palliative treatment and distinguishes it from symptomatic treatment. Then, the palliative situation is delineated as inseparably linked to the finitude of human life. Given the objectives of palliative treatment — responding to symptoms, damage to the patients' self-image, and the proximity of death — a subjective concept of disease is described, that is regarded as the focus of palliative treatment. The essence of the concept of disease is analysed as the patient's experience with a tendency of (...)

    The fallibility of medical judgment as a consequence of the inexactness of observations.Joachim Widder - 1998 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 1 (2):119-124.
    The paper attempts to give an account of the fallibility of medical judgments without recourse to the incompleteness of scientific knowledge. It is argued that because of the inexactness of observations and thus the existence of borderline cases any theory applied for explanation and predicition will produce some false results. This state of affairs is independent of the nature of a theory, i.e., it applies both for non-probabilistic and for probabilistic theories. Some epistemological issues and consequences with regard to a (...)
