Fabulous for any health care worker, of any religion

I would recommend this book to chaplains, ethicists, physicians, and nurses. The book presents a new approach to patient care, asking "What needs to be done for this patient?" rather than "Who has the right to decide what is to be done?"I would recommend this book to anyone in health care, regardless of religious beliefs.
