"In this remarkable book, the nation's foremost authority on health care law provides crucial advice for asserting your rights in the increasingly complex and uncaring medical bureaucracy. A must-read, this book provides a compassionate and workable blueprint for a healthy and just future for us all." —Lori B. Andrews, Chicago-Kent Law School

Now in its third edition, The Rights of Patients offers fully documented exposition and explanation of the rights of patients from birth to death. This concise reference covers topics such as informed consent, emergency treatment, refusing treatment, human experimentation, privacy and confidentiality, patient safety, and medical malpractice.

  • Patient rights
  • The patient rights advocate
  • Reforming American medicine
  • Hospitals
  • Emergency medicine
  • Informed choice
  • Choices about surgery and children's care
  • Reproductive health
  • Research
  • Medical records
  • Privacy and confidentiality
  • Care of the dying
  • Suffering, pain, and suicide
  • Death, organ donation, and autopsy
  • Patient safety and medical malpractice
  • Internet resources
  • Convention on human rights and biomedicine
  • Childbearing patient bills of rights

George J. Annas is the Edward R. Utley Professor of Health Law, Bioethics, and Human Rights at the Boston University School of Public Health and chair of the Health Law Department. He is also a professor at the Boston University School of Law and the Boston University School of Medicine.

"The Rights of Patients is the Bible of patient rights." —Charles Inlander, President of the People's Medical Society
