Patient's Ordeal

By William F. May

Book Overview

"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
