Litigation : A Physician's Guide Hardcover, 288 pages
Written by a physician and a lawyer, the book provides unique
insights, through real-life stories, into the personal experience of
litigation as well as recommendations for dealing with each of the
stages of legal processes. What is it like to be sued for medical malpractice? Bad medical
outcomes traumatize patients but they also traumatize physicians.
The litigation that often follows is a profoundly human, rather than
just a legal experience. Although every physician's case is
different, this book shows how each case goes through the same
judicial stages of complaint, discovery, depositions, motions, and
delays that lead to trial, settlement, or being dropped. It also includes up-to-date reviews of HIPAA legislation, the
controversial subject of disclosure, and recent developments in the
law affecting medical practitioners. Only about thirty percent of
plaintiffs win their cases against doctors, but the journey from
bedside to witness stand tests both the personal character and the
professional skills of those accused. It also gives doctors an
understanding of how lawyers think and work to help defendants. This well-documented book will help doctors understand and
navigate the legal system - while honoring their own ideals and
emerging changed but stronger from the experience. Sara C. Charles is at University of Illinois (Emerita). Paul
Frisch is at Oregon Medical Association. (information from the publisher) You may also be
