Through the Valley of Shadows now under contract

I’m pleased to report that my new trade book, Through the Valley of Shadows: Making Intensive Care Human is now under contract with Oxford University Press. The book is due to enter production in early 2015, with a likely release in 2016. This book project explores the problems with critical care and the failings of living wills to address the real risks of contemporary ICUs. In the process, I show several ways to improve the current practice of intensive care in the USA
