Abstract:
Contemporary intensive care medicine blurs the boundary between life and death, and transforms the way we understand and manage critical illness. Intensive care brings hope to gravely ill patients and their families, but it also generates an enormous amount of uncertainty and moral burden for those involved in the provision of life-sustaining treatment. In this inaugural event of the Critical Care Fireside Chat series, we welcome everyone from Sassoon Road and beyond, to join our exploration of the intersection of ethics, humanities and medicine.
