Doctors have more means than ever before to bring a patient back from the brink of death, but can reviving someone do more harm than good? On this edition of Up To Date, we discuss the tricky ethics of resuscitation.
Guest:
- David Casarett, MD is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and author of Shocked: Adventures in Bringing Back the Recently Dead.
Dr. Casarett will speak about his book at 7 p.m Wednesday, August 12. at St. Joseph Medical Center in the Alex George Auditorium. For more information, visit www.practicalbioethics.org.
