Recenzje

Multidimensional uncertainty is pervasive in the care of patients with acute and chronic disorders of consciousness. L. Syd M Johnson charts significant new territory by focusing on uncertainty and its epistemic and ethical implications; this book should be indispensable for bioethicists and clinicians committed to improving the care of these patients and their families.
