As a critical examination of the pervasive tension existing
between defensive medicine and good, ethical patient care, this
book investigates the impact of legalities on medical treatment.
Physicians today are apprehensive about the threat of malpractice
suits. Kapp explores the extent to which this fear is justified. He
examines where physicians get their ideas about what the law
forbids and requires, how physicians' perceptions of the law and
medicine affect medical care, and whether these behavioral
manifestations benefit or hurt a physician's ability to practice
ethically. Kapp then suggests ways medical professionals can
resolve tension caused by conflicting demands and encourage more
ethical care.
