Life and Loss of life in Intensive Good care offers a distinctive portrait of the surgical intensive care product (SICU), the place in medical centers and nursing homes where patients with the gravest medical ailments - from comas to terminal disorder - are cured. Publisher Joan Cassell uses the concept of moral economies to describe the dilemmas that patients, family members, and medical staff confront in treatment. Pulling upon her fieldwork conducted in both United States and New Zealand, Cassell compares the moral outlooks and root ideas of SICU nurses, interns, doctors, and surgeons. Using true to life examples, Life and Loss of life in Intensive Good care clearly reveals the logic and beliefs behind the SICU as well as the personalities, procedures, and stresses that characterize every case. Ultimately, Cassell shows the differing systems of beliefs, and just how cultural definitions of medical treatment inform how exactly we treat the critically ill.
