520 _a"Thirty years ago, when medical law as we now understand it was in its infancy in this country, reported cases were few and textbooks and monographs even fewer. Today, our shelves groan under the weight of a seemingly ceaseless flow of new cases and new books. Why is this book, whose second edition is very welcome, so important and so valuable? First, it deals with a centrally important topic- intensive care- which, as the editors remark, presents in one medical discipline many of the most intractable problems in health law. More than many medical matters, and as this book so pervasively brings out, intensive care engages, most acutely, ethics as much as medicine and the law. And, as the editors justly observe, it is an area of medical practice where the law has not always played as helpful a part as one would hope. As they comment, at times the courts appear to place impossible demands upon clinicians in the intensive care unit"--
