Preview Medical law for the attending physician: a case oriented analysis

Description:
A clinician, attorney, educator, and medico-legal consultant, Fiscina analyzes the interac­tion between law and medicine by presenting legal issues and principles derived from clini­cal situations familiar to attending physi­cians, medical students, and others involved in health care. The case studies will permit physicians to observe and assess whether or not their pro­fessional conduct is legally acceptable. The cases allow Fiscina to explore the legal im­plications of the physician’s conduct under varying clinical circumstances. Each chapter traces specifically the way the law measures performance of clinical tasks. Because medi­cal practice necessarily involves many in­stances of choice and decision, knowing the legal points of comparison generally ap­plied will permit more rational and assured choices when questions arise. Some of the case studies contain facts and circumstances that should alert a physician to the presence of questionable circumstances and propose the reasonable (in the legal sense) course of action.
