Summary note
"In this new book, John Lantos weaves a compelling story that captures the dilemmas of modern medical practice. The Lazarus Case: Life-and-Death Issues in Neonatal Intensive Care begins with a fictional malpractice case - an amalgam of typical cases in which Lantos appeared as an expert witness - and uses it as the framework for addressing the ethical issues surrounding neonatal intensive care.
Lantos draws on his experience in neonatal medicine, pediatrics, and medical ethics to explore multiple ethical dilemmas through one poignant representative situation."--BOOK JACKET.
