[Ethical problems from the caregivers' viewpoint].
In a first part the different perspective of physician and nurse is outlined. Then the ethical principles of the health professionals are outlined. The variant views--descriptive and normative--are described. In a second part the dilemmas emerging in daily practice of health care workers are demonstrated. Questions regarding the importance of well-being and illness are raised. Does CAN mean also that one SHOULD, i.e. for transplantation of organs? What are the guiding criteria for this advanced medicine. Since ethical decisions always touch at least two human beings they touch us over and over--profoundly.
