RicardoKaká Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hey guys, Looking to buy Doing Right for Casper prep, I see that there seems to be a new edition of the book? Does anyone know the difference between them, should I buy the new edition or the older one? I apologize if this is a stupid question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaxop Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Does anyone know if there is a huge difference between the 2nd and 3rd editions of the book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded frog Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 You can also get this book from your local public/university/hospital library, doesn't take that long to read cover to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinkles Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 so my public library has 7 people who have reserved it before me, and my school library has one copy that's not due back until November WHY does this book have to be so pricey? any ideas where I can get a cheaper one second hand? And the e-book version....do you need a kindle to read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicardoKaká Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I bought the book off Amazon and so far it is a great read with some nice cases! I would recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medhope15 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Maybe ask in the MD forum? someone might have an older version for sale or to rent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakercyclist Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I can't see an eBook version anywhere. There is Doing Right: Practicing Ethical Principles as an eBook, but that is absolutely not the same book. I think if I get an interview this year I'll buy it, but that's pretty unlikely so I'm just gonna go with my gut for CASPer again! And I've never touched a copy of it so I have no idea what the differences between the version might be. Often the publisher will list that information somewhere online.

cbarne01 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 One for sale in guelph, but older edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oshaku Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I read the 1996 and 2014 edition and I'd say the 1996 edition is sufficient to convey the basics of medical ethics. The newer edition adds some more pages and includes comments on recent changes in the world of medicine (rise of antibiotic resistance for ex.). I'd also say that having read doing right didn't help with my MMI. I was fortunate enough to access these books through my school library and careers center. The material is interesting and I now sort of having to deal with ethics in med school, but it's not all that important in the pre-medical stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
