Medical Law and Forensic Medicine in a Nutshell - From Clinic to Courtroom (National Health Act, 2014 Annexed)

In today’s world, the decisions of healthcare providers may not end in the hospital, and the lawyer’s argument may rely on medical facts. This book therefore bridges critical gap between healthcare and law.

The book is written in clear, simple language, and takes readers on a journey from the care environment, through patients or clients' interactions with care providers and to the courtroom, showing how medicine and law could come together in real life.

In the book, you are going to uncover legal frameworks for medical and health laws, how consent, negligence, medical errors and malpractice, autopsies, expert testimony, and courtroom procedures actually work, without loads of jargon. You will also get to know so much about patients’ rights as the epicenter of healthcare practice.

I can say, without doubt, that whether you are in the medical field, in the field of law, or you are a patient or a patient's relative, or even just a curious professional or student, this book helps you understand not just the rules, but the human stories behind them. It is a copy worth having and reading.
