As medical litigation continues to increase, the best defence for
doctors is to be aware of, and avoid, medical errors. This book
focuses on the key legal issues including medical documentation,
which reduce risk and liability when handled correctly. It contains
chapters on difficult patients and special issues for emergency
physicians. The case-based format demonstrates clinical relevance
and useful examples are drawn from office, hospital and community
settings. This book is the companion volume to Learning from
Medical Errors: Clinical Problems which focuses on the most common
clinical situations resulting in malpractice litigation. Learning
from Medical Errors: Legal Issues is vital reading for all doctors,
medical lecturers and teachers and medical lawyers.
