Interested in shared decision making? What does it really mean to remove the distance between a doctor and their patient

Interested in shared decision making? What does it really mean to remove the distance between a doctor and their patient or family when managing the most complex of medical cases? Then read this. Matt Morgan, a colleague of mine from OnExamination days, an intensive care specialist in Cardiff, has written a wonderful and positive book about the value of the pursuit of medicine.

It is a compassionate and honest account of what we know and don’t know about the science of critical care medicine. Explained through great story telling and pride of someone who continues to research what works and what doesn’t work and why in this field. Carefully picking through the complex morality of what is right and wrong in decisions at the edge of life in modern medicine.
