Description
"an excellent contribution to medical ethics" -Ethics
"wide-ranging, compassionate, and insightful" -Publishers Weekly
"a sensitive and provocative approach to the study of ethical decision making" -Choice
"[This] sensitive and moving book . . . compels and merits the grateful, concentrated, and critical attention of all who know, who live with, and who seek to help those human beings to whom terrible things have happened." -BioLaw
"The human contact embodied in The Patient's Ordeal puts the book light-years ahead of others in the field of medical ethics. . . . Once the dust from the academic reviews has settled, this book will be one of the few in the field of medical ethics that is thought of as a seminal work, one that has broken new ground. A remarkable, well-written, significant work, it cannot be commended too highly." -Second Opinion CPSIA choking or other US hazard warning -No California Proposition 65 hazard warning necessary
