Description

Medicine, Malpractice and Misapprehensions by Vivienne Harpwood explores the complex relationships between healthcare professionals, patients, and the law. This timely analysis examines the pressures on doctors in modern society, including the impact of media claims about malpractice and the growing trend of 'defensive medicine'. The author also considers the external factors driving these changes, such as target-setting and the privatization of healthcare. By examining the intersection of medicine, media, and occupational stress, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the challenges facing healthcare professionals. It is an essential read for anyone interested in medical law and ethics, offering valuable insights into the complexities of modern healthcare. With its focus on the practical implications of these issues, Medicine, Malpractice and Misapprehensions makes for a thought-provoking and informative read.
