MJ Muirhead

MJ Muirhead is a retired oncologist with a particular interest in informed consent and the ways in ‎which lay people get prompted to make decisions about their bodies. How individuals imagine their ‎future and the means that physicians employ to enable this vision or to forestall reality shine a light ‎on universal themes of hope and dashed expectations. The practice of medicine will always be a ‎blend of tedium and bustle, tragedy and triumph, circus and horror show. The author has conveyed ‎all of these in Longing for Laurie, his first traditionally published work of fiction.‎
