Live and Learn: Courage, Honesty, and Vulnerability
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 May 2025
The cases in this volume exemplify a rich cross-section of consultation experiences from which we can learn. The authors tell stories and share personal responses connected to deeply affective clinical ethics cases in which they consulted. None of these authors has selected an easy case. Ambiguity, second-guessing, and regret permeate their stories and reflections. They show great courage in laying bare such things as potential missteps, institutional impotence, and interpersonal struggles. Through their openness, we have amassed a rare collection of stories from which to learn about real-life challenges encountered by clinical ethics consultants in the incredibly complex world of contemporary health care.
