Defendants Currently on the Market - Suitable for Classrooms Too

This is the best written book that I have ever read on the subject. It should be required reading for all physicians in training and practice. 
Peter M. Pardoll, MD, MAC. President Florida Gastroenterology Association
 
An invaluable primer for the beginner, a guide for the experienced and also a reference book…for both health care providers and attorney alike.  
Karen DiCecco, MSN, RN, LNCC, Editor at Large, “Journal of Nurse Consulting,” American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants
 
A reference work (with) astute advice and helpful recommendations, artfully detailed...From a review by Alan G. Williams that appeared in the
“Journal of the American Medical Association”

 

The chance of an American physician finishing his or her career without a malpractice claim is remote. In this 21st century American malpractice climate,
potentially every medical student, house officer, practicing clinician, and academician will testify at least once; either as a defendant or as a medical expert.
Every physician executive-medical director, director of medical education, & executive knows- or should know this - and thus has a duty to adequately educate and
train the physician.  Gorney M. adapted from “Coping with Bad News: The Physician Executive's Role in a Lawsuit,” “Physician Executive,” 2002
