Reviews
'... truly brilliant ... The coherence with which the authors unpick complex and usually intangible, as well as explicit, situations is extraordinary ... I was fascinated by the different scenarios, which echoed some of my own experiences with patients and made the text come alive and easy to read ... This book is a hugely welcome clarion call back to the essential values in medicine ... a very impressive book ...' Julia Samuel, Founder Patron and Trustee, The Child Bereavement Charity, from the Foreword
