Legal action involving doctors, either as defendants or expert
witnesses, has greatly increased over the past decade and few can
now remain aloof from this aspect of their profession. Written by
doctors (including five Council Members of the Medical Defence
Union of Great Britain) and lawyers, this practical guide offers
clear and comprehensive advice to all concerned. Part I discusses
how to write medical reports, especially when consent is required
or confidential information is involved. Part II covers contentious
issues in various clinical specialties which repeatedly arise in
litigation; well-known examples are cases involving whiplash
injuries or perinatal brain damage. In Part III lawyers discuss the
medico-legal problems of the solicitor's role, court testimony and
medical negligence. This book is a valuable reference to all
members of the medical profession. Lawyers, officials and others
outside the medical profession who come into contact with medical
litigation but have limited medical knowledge will find much
helpful information.
