Preview Medical Law (Briefcase Series)

Description:
This book presents important and relevant cases in medical law in an accessible format. The cases, and other relevant material, are linked by short comments which explain their legal relevance and ethical significance. Although law and ethics are divorced in principle, a consideration of ethical issues adds context to legal decisions, and is particularly relevant to medical law. A brief introduction to the ethical principles that govern the provision of health care, constitutes the framework for considering the issues that arise in the cases. Interspersed with the cases and materials think points are used to test the students understanding and guide him/her towards the important and contentious issues. The primary aim of this book is to provide rapid and easy access to the important cases within the area of health care law. It will provide a valuable adjunct to more substantial texts as well as being an essential revision tool. It will also provide a useful springboard from which a student could dive into deeper research. A secondary aim of the book is to provide a summary of health care law to students and practitioners of other disciplines. Doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers and bioethicists will all find the book a ready source of relevant case law and material written in clear English without recourse to legalese.
