Abstract

It's challenging to know when, why and how to deal with delayed decision-making in clinical care. Dr. Taylor uses case studies to explore this ethically-complex issue, and makes practical suggestions about how to manage delayed decision-making when it is no longer appropriate to "give it more time."
