Summary:

"The Book of Questions meets What If? in this profound, provocative, and addictively engaging book of medical cases that asks, "What would you do?" Some cases are pulled from today’s headlines, others are loosely based on cases reported in professional journals. A few (identities disguised) come from the author’s own clinical encounters. Every scenario is followed by a brief reflection of how various modern thought leaders (ethicists, philosophers, courts, political commentators, research scientists, and medical professionals) have addressed the underlying issues. In a society where much of the public views many hot-button ethical issues in stark, black-and-white terms, the scenarios in Bedside Dilemmas are designed to defy easy answers and to stimulate thought. Profound, provocative, and addictive, it’s impossible to read just one." - GoodReads.com.
