ConclusionReviews"""The tone and depth of this volume perfectly suit its content. Walker approaches chronic care, even in its most practical aspects, from a carefully reasoned, slow-boiling, solidly constructed philosophical perspective. This matches the reflexive, slow-motion nature of chronic care, which does not ask for fast-paced executive decisions, but for a meditated navigation through long-term clinical and moral questions that keep returning, haunting practitioners and patients alike for their foreseeable future.
