Synopsis:

“Charles Radey explores numerous crises and difficulties common to us all from a standpoint of deep caring and true understanding. It is this underlying compassion that makes Choosing Wisely a treasured guide and reference book rather than just a work of valuable information.”
–Hugh Prather

“This beautifully written book weaves its way through touching case histories (and even the writings of Tolstoy) to carve out a clear and logical path. Families and physicians who struggle with ethical decisions regarding treatment will find this guide invaluable.”
–Abraham Verghese, M.D.
Professor of Medicine, Texas Tech University
