• 書目註：Medical innovations not only create new treatment opportunities, butalso new problems and dilemmas for medical practitioners and patients.Uncertainty in Medical Innovation is a qualitative analysis of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) that explores the medical and ethical complexities and uncertainties that new technology has created across the medical arena.
