Abstract

At a time when even a brief hospital stay means becoming terrifyingly dependent on the kindness of strangers, this compassionate and practical book by a prominent medical ethicist gives power back to patients while providing invaluable guidance to their friends and families. "A cutting-edge book about cutting-edge issues (that) every American must know. . . ".--Alan Dershowitz.
