- Summary
- "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.
