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. \u003cb\u003ePart I\u003c\/b\u003e discusses how to write medical reports, especially when consent is required or confidential information is involved. \u003cb\u003ePart II\u003c\/b\u003e 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 \u003cb\u003ePart III\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-11-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447118657\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-1863-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 242.0cm x170.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 296.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44408245059724,"sku":"9781447118657","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447118657.jpg?v=1755789831","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447118657","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
