...film is more patient than thrilling in developing its multi-layered plot, and, frankly, there are elements in it - notably something to do with a kid's book that Michael's son induces Arthur Edens to read - that seemed to me rather murky. Or incompletely developed. But there's still something deeply absorbing about Michael Clayton, which stems largely from the way it allows its characters their quirks. You believe Arthur's temporary insanity, which is a matter of decent instincts overriding his professionalism. You believe that Pollack's apparent toughness is something of a shell.

But should patients, even really bright patients, who read every word on the Internet about their afflictions, be driving such choices...
...conferences hashing over the pros and cons. Then we do the operations and we live with the results for the rest of our lives; they are the swords by which we live or die. So, should a two-minute TV commercial or a random website that sways the patient sway the orthopedic surgeon too? The answer is obvious - and it was embodied in my patient. Old Nick's confidence in his wine-drinking, Persian-stopping heritage told me it would be wise to have a little more confidence...
