Beyond Malpractice The Young Physicians Guide to Legal Medicine
Perhaps you're a seasoned physician at the top of your field-or maybe you're still fighting your way out from underneath a giant pile of medical school textbooks. Either way, another hefty tome telling you how to do your job is probably the last thing you're looking forward to reading.
But today's physicians have a need for know-how that goes far beyond anatomy and physiology. The duty to "do no harm" is one that you are bound to by law-and the complex legal matters governing medical care should be part of every doctor's arsenal of knowledge.
Penned by experienced physician and clinical professor William L. Doss, MD, MBA, Beyond Malpractice addresses a wide variety of legal issues affecting the world of health care without any overly complicated lingo or legalese.
In addition to matters of malpractice and tort law, you'll find useful knowledge about patient privacy, resuscitative codes, and harassment guidelines-all packaged in concise chapters that explain concepts in a straightforward and easily digestible way.
