Chapter 60, about keeping terminally ill people on ventilators, while acute patients from a pandemic who might be able to be saved and returned to society go without.
Yeah. This is the book you want to read right now. I don't think that I can just skim through this book before it goes back to the library later today. Some of the choices are just too hard to bear thinking about, here, and now.

Chapter 42 is really interesting right now, because it's about keeping super-spreaders of diseases in quarantine against their will. My, my, my.
Funny how we had only 2 cases of Ebola in this country. We just marked 130,000 deaths yesterday, one quarter of the world's deaths to date. We don't have a quarter of the world's population.
Hell of a job, Brownie!

The first part, about doctor's responsibilities, was tough reading. Each case got more challenging for me to read.
Interestingly, no solutions are offered, only hypothetical cases, with some examples of historical incidents in the past.
I remember being young, and thinking that the line between right and wrong was clear and easy. This proves otherwise.
