Sommario/riassunto |
|
In place of living wills, which have fundamentally misunderstood the problems people face during life-threatening illness, researcher and practicing ICU physician Samuel Morris Brown advocates a system of individualized guidance alongside fundamental reform. In this provocative and empathetic book, rich in patients' stories, Brown offers a blueprint for a truly humane ICU. |
