Obstetrics and gynaecology is the biggest area of medical
litigation, with compensation pay-outs exceeding the rest of
medicine combined. Many specialists working in the field will be
sued over their professional lifetime - having an increased
awareness of past cases and their implications will reduce the risk
of future litigation. Using landmark cases in the field, this book
covers scenarios such as multiple pregnancy, hysterectomy and
breech delivery, describing factors that have led to litigation.
Chapters are structured clearly, beginning with case commentaries
detailing both a successful and unsuccessful claim. This section is
followed by legal commentary explaining the relevant laws and the
verdict, finally giving a clinical commentary provided by experts
in the field which focuses on best practice to avoid litigation.
Edited by an accredited expert witness in the field and a barrister
specialising in medical law, this is an invaluable resource for
clinicians and lawyers alike.
