Abstract
Few issues raise more questions for physicians than the resuscitation of seriously ill patients. In the following exchange of letters, Dr. John Quinlan discusses two difficult cases involving patient resuscitation, while Dr. William Cook responds by referring to the Joint Statement on Resuscitative Interventions that was approved last year by the CMA and several other health care organizations.
