An Incongruent Amalgamation: John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism on Naturalism

Abstract: John Stuart Mill's utilitarian principle of the greatest happiness for the greatest number, often surfaces in cultural debates in the contemporary West over the extent and foundations of moral duties. Given the drift from its historical Judeo-Christian moorings, naturalism now provides much of the epistemic grounding in Western culture in relation to moral duties. The amalgamation of Mill’s utilitarianism and naturalism has resulted in a cultural and epistemic disconnect. Naturalism is hard-pressed to provide consistent epistemic support for Mill’s utilitarian principle. This essay provides a number of suggestions as to why Mill’s utilitarianism may be inconsistent on naturalism.

Malpractice Litigation: The Elephant in the Reading Room.

Abstract: Seven percent of radiologists in the United States are sued each year for alleged medical malpractice [ 1 Jena A.B. Seabury S. Lakdawalla D. Chandra A. Malpractice risk according to physician specialty. N Engl J Med. 2011; 365: 629-636 Crossref PubMed Scopus (634) Google Scholar ], with radiologists on average spending 10% of their professional careers with looming malpractice claims [ 2 Seabury S.A. Chandra A. Lakdawalla D.N. Jena A.B. On average, physicians spend nearly 11 percent of their 40-year careers with an open, unresolved malpractice claim. Health Aff (Millwood). 2013; 32: 111-119 Crossref PubMed Scopus (81) Google Scholar ]. The implications are manifold. Malpractice lawsuits are strongly associated with not only physician burnout—which is now endemic—but also depression and suicide [ 3 Balch C.M. Oreskovich M.R. Dyrbye L.N. et al. Personal consequences of malpractice lawsuits on American surgeons. J Am Coll Surg. 2011; 213: 657-667 Crossref PubMed Scopus (160) Google Scholar ]. And as medical expenditures continue to soar, the costs of defensive medicine, and particularly defensive imaging [ 4 Villalobos A. Horný M. Hughes D.R. Duszak Jr., R. Associations over time between paid medical malpractice claims and imaging utilization in the United States. J Am Coll Radiol. 2021; 18: 34-41 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (8) Google Scholar ], cannot be ignored. Despite the frequency and impact of medical malpractice litigation, the topic receives relatively little attention, partly related to associated physician shame—an elephant in the reading room, if you will. In this special issue of JACR, we dig into a variety of timely and thorny topics in this important domain.
