Medical Malpractice Claims  ISBN 086569284X Auburn House April 1999 (click below for the best available price for this resource)
Incorporating in-depth interviews, statistical data, and prior studies, Fielding illustrates how modern medicine is a victim of its own success. The historical record since the early 19th century shows that the rate of malpractice claims has increased as medicine developed new and more complex procedures. Fielding integrates macro- and micro-levels of analysis to explain how scientific medicine is inherently prone to adverse outcomes no matter how competent medical provisions are and how patients often feel their personal experiences and views are marginalized during the course of their medical care. This combination makes it more likely that patients will sue when something goes wrong. Stephen L. Fielding is Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry where he is managing several research projects on women's reproductive health.
