The Art of Surrogate Decision Making
Excited to have lead article in Kaiser Permanente's Ethics Rounds, Winter 2010.
This article presents a narrative about a painter visiting a museum to discuss the restoration of a painting as an analogy and provocative lens through which to explore the challenges of surrogate decision making. The article offers a framework to support surrogates in the difficult role of serving as the voice of another.
