This article explores the ethics of profit-focused healthcare by looking at English case studies intended for medical and business students. This study aims to find the main contradictions between a patient-centered approach to rendering medical aid and commercialized healthcare model in English texts, and to show why real-world case studies should be included into the process of teaching a foreign language to students majoring in Medicine and Economics. Typical case studies are analyzed in English. A physician or a healthcare manager has to choose between the patient’s interests and requirements of cost effectiveness. It is shown that when included into the teaching of a foreign language to medical and economics students, the case studies don’t only teach the professional English language, but also develop ethical thinking. It is concluded that the case study method is a perspective tool of teaching medical ethics to future professionals, who can recognize and resolve conflicts between patient care and market demands.
