Summary
This research began as an inquiry into the moral quandaries that medical leaders confronted, and the ways that medical leaders reasoned about them. It certainly remained a study of moral quandaries; but the focus of inquiry shifted towards moral narrative and behavioural propriety, rather than moral reasoning. How did this happen?
The complexities of designing worthwhile social research reflect a world that the poet Louis MacNiece described as ‘crazier and more of it than we think/Incorrigibly plural’. In this appendix, I explain how the arguments and conclusions of previous chapters have been shaped by the decisions I made in the course of planning and conducting the research. I endeavour to justify the research design, discuss its method and explain its conduct. I then clarify the methodological framework for the study, and the status of the conclusions that may be drawn from it.
