Medical professionals perform a daunting number of tasks each day; on the toughest days they face life and death decisions. We're going to look at a program that gives people who work in the health care industry a chance to explore ethical issues from the inside out. The New Hampshire Humanities Council's Literature and Medicine program is essentially a book club for people who work in hospitals. We're going to talk about how books provide a filter for examining difficult issues in some of the most demanding professions in this country.

Our guests include:
Kathy Smith, NH Humanities Council Program Director
Rev. David Jones, Program Facilitator
Dr. Joel Berman of Concord Hospital
