do not buy
this book is very poor. do not purchase. I am an intern pharmacist and it is in no way applicable to the practice of pharmacy. Having used this book, I have no better understanding of pharmacy law. I recommend the Weisman text for CA law, as it is a better book.

Great book!
This is an intriguing expose' on the underground market for human body parts.I would definitely recommend it--it is quite eye-opening!

Black Markets : The Supply and Demand of Body Parts
This is very interesting reading.Being an avid reader, I am always browsing through books looking for something knowledgeable and different from my usual relationship topics.This caught my attention and I could not put it down.I would never expect a book of this nature to do that.This author did a fantastically wonderful job of shining light on a subject that is very important and does not receive attention.More importantly, it is written in a way that would engage the average person.Great job !!!!

Timely and Honest
I am incredibly impressed with this author.I participated in a conference hosted by her law school this past weekend.It was outstanding!She read from the book and the room was in complete silence.She is a brilliant author and professor.This is one of the few books written by a bioethicist that speaks to the public.I congratulate the author. ...

Relevant & Useful Tool
Adverse Events, Stress & Litigation, A Physician's Guide, is the latest contribution by a pair of professionals who have spent the last three decades shedding light on a previously unmentioned subject.Sara Charles, MD and Paul Frisch, JD partnered to provide the most comprehensive and thoughtful review of this complex topic.This book explores adverse events and provides practical tips on how to disclose unexpected occurrences to the patient and/or family.The authors skillfully corroborated to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the litigation process.Numerous caveats are included that will assist defendants as they deal with the demands of litigation.To further add to this well-written text, numerous poignant case vignettes are provided.
Pertinent and Substantive!
Adverse Events, Stress and Litigation: A Physician's Guide was recommended to me by my daughter in pre-med. As an emergency physician with 30 years of experience in healthcare, I found this book a welcome addition to my continuing medical education.The authors provide an in depth synopsis of a topic which is fraught with anxiety for all physicians, medical malpractice.The book's unique strength lies in both content and format, setting it apart from other literature on the same topic.What it is NOT, is a sterile, didactic review on medical litigation.Rather, it walks the reader through the mine field of a claim or suit.It shines a light through the fog that is the legal process (and the associated attorney jargon) inherent in this stressful situation.Further, it provides the reader with tools to successfully navigate the system. Real life examples are integrated throughout, adding interest and even comfort.Every physician and physician-to-be should include this in their mandatory reading. I was surprised to find hope and solace in a book that is thoroughly informative and relevant. I highly recommend it.

Evocative, exceptional, and enlightening!
As a pre-med student I found this book incredibly informative.It provides a balanced and unique perspective on a very important issue.The use of real life situations makes the book both poignant and approachable to the lay person or professional.Every pre-medical, medical student and resident should read this book in preparation for their career.It adds depth and scope to ones understanding of the importance of patient safety, quality of care, and risk management.This book not only can help one avoid liability but can also provide a guide through the difficult and often foreign legal system surrounding medical malpractice. ...

Access To Healthcare Should Not Be A Freemarket Perk
Along with many Americans I frimly believe in freemarkets providing goods and services to the American people. America is one of the wealthiest countries in the world because of our adherence to the freemarket system. However, our citizens rank near the bottom in health status. Americans have lower life expectancy, more health-related morbidity and higher adolescent death rates than most other advanced nations in the world and even some developing countries.

every therapist needs this book
The primary author is well known as an instructor of "Family Law" for graduate students of psychology, social work, marriage & family therapy, etc. at several north Texas universities.His courses arealways well-received.A previous reviewer commented that a mental healthprofessional would have been helpful.I doubt that would make a differencesince so many professionals from various clinical disciplines use theseauthors as resources.This book is a great adjunct to remind yourself whatyou need to do as a professional to protect yourself & your clients. While you do not offer legal advice if you are not an attorney, being awareof these issues makes a counselor more likely to recommend that a clientsee an attorney for advice.Also, re-reading this book on a regular basisreminds us of what we need to continue to do to protect our professionallicenses.Often when we are in private practice, just as in other areas oflife, we sometimes get lax or forget to attend to all the details necessaryto protect us as professionals & our clients.This book is a must foryour professional library.

Going into practice? Here's what you must know first.
I stumbled across this book while preparing a project as part of my undergrad Psychology studies at the University of Utah. What a lucky find this is! *** Many statements exist in the world of mental health practice regarding what standards of professionalism, ethicality, conduct, andconfidentiality a psychologist should adhere to. Many of them, I'vediscovered so far, are abstract: they state the standard but give little,if any, illustration on how a practicing therapist applies all that tohis/her job and life. This book is the first I've uncovered that gives theclear and understandable picture that I need as an aspiring psychologist.*** I think I understand well enough the general principle that motivatedthe authors to write this book: all too often, each of us has gotten burnedin the past because of some rule, some technicality, some law that wouldhave worked in our favor had we acted with a knowledge of it. For example,I know someone who wouldn't have paid a single cent of his medical billscaused by an on-the-job accident had he simply reported his injury within48 hours instead of waiting a week. Things like that. I'm always makingsure I do things like keep receipts, review credit card statements, andwatch what creeps into my college transcripts, because it's the littlethings that can screw our lives up so badly. All the more so fortherapists, the authors believe, because of their heavy responsibility tosafeguard their clients' welfare, and because unfortunately their trainingdoesn't seem to prepare them for some types of potential legal trouble. ***As part of that approach, this book takes an interesting departure fromother literature on mental health ethics. Despite what the title says, thecontents seem to focus not so much on protecting the client--although thatprinciple is by no means diminished--as it does on protecting thetherapist. That may seem selfish, but hey, you've got to learn this stuffsomehow! *** The authors do an excellent job of explaining a diversity ofissues in understandable ways. They use well-constructed scenarios thatmake you ask yourself, "what would I do if faced with thisdilemma?" Then they systematically explain what the options are, andwhat to avoid along the way. They show you several sample documents alongthe way that demonstrate how to remove any legal doubts from your practice.The objective is to prevent things from going wrong, but they also discusswhen things get ugly, such as a client who commits suicide and therelatives sue you, the therapist, for malpractice. Or when to breachconfidentiality and activate your "duty to warn" if a clientthreatens violence against someone else--or yourself. *** I noted that theauthors were both lawyers, and that only one was licensed as a mastersocial worker. I wish, despite their impressive knowledge and experience,that a psychologist might have collaborated with them on this work. Iwonder what sort of change in perspective it would have brought to havesomeone involved in this writing who was solely a practioner of mentalhealth, and not of law. *** Nevertheless, if you have a vested interest inpsychology, I think this is essential reading. If you are a practicingpsychologist, and you do not completely know these practical issues, youmay be an unwitting candidate for some serious trouble. If you are, likeme, someone who hopes one day to become a psychologist, this is anexcellent way to introduce and orient yourself to some very pertinentinformation--and get a firm and realistic picture of what it's really goingto be like for you. Best you pay attention. ... Read more
