Stephen Newman is dying. The correct diagnosis has evaded the best medical minds, and nothing has been done to arrest his physical deterioration. When Nina Charan meets him in the emergency department of the London Academic Centre, she knows that something, a clue in the history, has been missed. As it becomes clear that her patient is concealing important facts about his life, Nina realises that a larger, deeper game is being played, one that involves medical ethics, politics, personal hypocrisy and a human life. Nina is once again manoeuvred into a position of crucial importance, one from which she will not be able to extract herself without tearing through the complex web of interests that has enveloped her. EXTREMIS explores assisted dying, euthanasia, academic misconduct and whistle blowing. Set in London, New Orleans and Bolivia, it is the sequel to PROXIMITY.

Second collection of posts from the Illusions of Autonomy blog, exploring medical ethics, the psychology of doctors, communication at the end of life and the challenges of training. Section headings: In the machine Self preservation The silent patient The apprenticeship NHS1 Near the end
