Analyzing the level of claims for clinical negligence in the light
of the most recent trends and discovering whether there is indeed a
litigation crisis in healthcare, this book is a topical and
compelling exploration of healthcare and doctor-patient
relationships.
The author:
- identifies and analyzes the growing pressures on doctors in
modern society, placing their role in context
- explores some of the myths surrounding media claims about
malpractice
- considers the practice of 'defensive medicine' and the
difference between defensive practices and sensible risk
management
- examines external pressures, such as political interference
with clinical practice in the form of target-setting and what might
be described as a culture of creeping privatization of
healthcare.
Covering the topics of medicine and the media and the causes of
occupational stress among doctors, this volume is a must read for
all students of medical law and medical ethics.
