DJJ Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hi all, Looking to prepare for CASPer and I've heard reading Doing Right is a good idea. But...I don't have 80 bucks to spend on the book and I can't seem to find it in any libraries around. Does anyone know where I could get my hands on an online copy? Thanks in advance!

SkepticalStudent Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I assume you mean an e-book, and as far as I know there isn't an e-book available for it (yet?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonTrad410 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 check your university's library (or even the public library). also there may be some used copies floating around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katakari Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I can't speak to its efficacy for CASPer, but if you were looking for a free and comprehensive ethical resource I would check out: http://www.cmaj.ca/site/misc/bioethics_e.xhtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starryskies Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Trying to steal an ethics book? For real though Anyways, I don't know about how well it prepares one for the CASPer specifically, but it's reached legend status amongst premeds in terms of preparation for the MMI. Check your library, see if you can find a used copy etc. I've personally never read it, and instead got a cheaper alternative in the form of MSC medical's book and DVD set.

This was the biggest waste of a book and dgd I bought all cycle. Do not recommend the MSC medical book, it is very slopping and the DVD's are a waste of time.

km2kenne Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 If your school has a career services building with it's own library, check that too. That's where they keep them at UW. If you can't find it, you can probably still find the framework it uses to discuss ethical problems. The rest of the book is pretty much further explanation and examples. I found this presentation that I think is pretty good: http://fhs.mcmaster.ca/ethics/documents/Faculty_Ed_Student_Q.pdf It's framework is definitely longer than Doing Right's though.

I honestly found it to be very helpful what with the questions to practice from and the examples of a good answer. It is a little sketch though lol This resource is 10X more useful than Doing Right in my opinion. I used both for my interview prep Edit: aquaisra you have excellent taste in tv shows Thanks! It's nice to find a bunch of people who are also fans of ATLA on this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arztin Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 The MSC book is utter crap, especially for the price. It contains only a few cases where the author gives you an example of thought process. The rest of the book is just blank. I.e. one scenario on a page, 5 lines long, and the nest 2 pages are just blank lines. Pure fillers. Save your money. You won't learn anything from that book. I think that book is only good for people who have no idea what MMI are, and are short of time for a good preparation. The DVD's audio quality is so bad that your ears bleed. IMO, Doing Right is amazing, but it goes too far for a premed. I think you don't need to know much more than what's contained here: https://depts.washington.edu/bioethx/topics/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded frog Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I borrowed it from a university library. Check there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
