An excellent summary
I've taken Professor Dobbyn's insurance class, and let me tell you that everything he said there has been boiled down to very clear and concise points in this book. It's the only book on insurance you would ever need - a must for any student taking insurance law. From basic concepts of insurance to specific rules, this book covers everything.

For the honest physician/medical student.
As a current medical student and son of a malpractice lawyer, I found this book intriguing and insightful.His cocnlusions are sound and based on reputable studies conducted by MEDICAL SCHOOLS and PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS with strong ties to healthcare (such as the New England Journal of Medicine).He in no way attacks physicians as a whole.In fact, he devotes a good portion of the book entirely to reform that would PROTECT physicians.His book represents an easy-to-read, fair treatment of malpractice in healthcare.For the open-minded and honest physician/medical student, this book will help you rise above the malpractice myth that is almost universally held by physicians/medical students and completely contested by malpractice attorneys.Very objective and data centered.

lawsuits do not prevent anything
As a physician, I completely disagree with this the author of this book. In fact, how can an insurance professor comment on the complex world of medicinal practice? Lawsuits do not prevent mistakes. On the contrary, they invite mistakes by forcing physicians to order more tests, and be unnecessarily agressive in working up any symptom. If I have a kidney patient whose potassium is on the high side, in fear of lawsuit, I may be more aressive and admit them to the hospital, order EKG and other tests and cost thousands of dollars, or in the ideal world, just change some medicines and follow as an outpatient, which costs a fraction of hospital admission.
comprehensive and enlightning
As a personal injury attorney for the past 34 years I was delighted and relieved to read Tom Baker's The Medical Malpractice Myth. The fact that there is no Medical Malpractice litigation crisis was not news to me, nor was the fact that there is a substantive malpractice crisis - although I was not aware of its extent.

Never order an e-book version from Amazon
I tried about 8 times to download an e-book digital version of this book.I never got the book electronic file visible in Adobe Reader.Amazon indicated their supplier was doing "Maintenance" and I should keep trying a few more days!
Well Worth Purchasing
This book gets to the point.It covers many areas of claims.Easy to understand and great examples.It personally worked for me.Well worth the purchase.I'm keeping this book in my library for any, heaven provide, possible future needs.

Great for Car Accident Victims
I bought this book after two big-name lawyers refused to take my case and a third one offered to help me in a small claims court for a third of the final settlement amount. Since the max reward in a CA sall claims court is $5,000, after a third was taken out, I would hardly be able to pay off all my medical bills. But after reading this book and following its instructions on how to collect evidence and how to write a demand letter, I was able to settle my own claim for $4,750.00.
