For our last Discussion in Medical Law and Ethics, research a new trend you are interested in related to the health care field. We all know the health care field is always changing. We have new technology, new procedures and new regulations. Our book addresses many new trends; have we seen a change in these trends since the publication of the textbook? Choose an item - a new trend - to research further and post an initial post explaining the new trend. Provide a citation of sites reviewed in this research for others in case they also have an interest in learning more.
