An Introduction for Everyone in the Pharmaceutical Business
I read the Generic Challenge in one evening.It is easy to read, anecdotal and short (100 pages).My favorite portions of the book were Chapter 2 (pharmaceutical patenting strategy) and Chapter 7 (drug life-cycle management).It is hard to believe that so much information and seasoned advice is packed into this little book.
Excellent primer on intersection of patents and drug regulation
The book is concise, witty, understandable by lay and law people alike, and helpful in understanding the difficulties that innovative drug companies face as well as how generics keep the innovators on their toes.Not designed as a treatise (thankfully), it is helpful for someone who wants a quick and readable overview of patents and drug laws and regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere, and how they affect the incentives to develop new drugs.This is well-suited for people who work at drug companies (whether innovator or generic) and among the professionals that serve those companies, not to mention politicians and others who make or influence policy, or anyone who wants to be informed about the facts and policies that underlie the "generic" debate that plays out in the press.

Aleatory in form and content.
Pages 1-40 disclose some background information relating to patents.Here, the author is plainly uncomfortable with the topic. Pages 41-107 describe various regulations relating to FDA submissions.Here, the writing is somewhat more assured.

Getting real about medical error
When someone is hurt during medical treatment it is an understandable reaction to blame the doctor for the harm. However, the great majority of errors which occur in medicine are a simple consequence of conscientious doctors being fallible human beings just like the rest of us. Hospital systems are generally full of design faults which pre-dispose doctors to make mistakes. Blaming doctors for simply being human directs attention away from these design faults, reduces the chance that system improvements will be made, and makes it likely that the same error will repeat itself in the future - thus perpetuating patient harm. Human error cannot be avoided, but patient harm can, through better systems and procedures. Genuinely negligent acts do occur in medicine, but it is important that these are distinguished from the inevitable human errors of clinicians doing their best. This is a distinction which is also required in law to ensure fairness in both the prosecution of negligent doctors and the compensation of harmed patients. This book goes several steps beyond the Institute of Medicine Report ("To Err is Human") in identifying the mechanisms and nature of error within health care and in its detailed discussion of the intricacies of culpability, blame, violation, error, legal fairness, and patient safety. ...

Workers Comp Victim review
This book should be offered to injured workers after their first visit with an attorney who will represent them. It should also be among those on the "required reading" lists in every law school, where attorneys may enter the Workers Compensation practice. The accuracy of descriptions for various categories, (ie. Chronic Pain, etc.), are extraordinary. For the first time in the eight years that I have been dealing with the system, I was able to read what amounted to an all encompassing, yet clear and accurate description of my own dillemma. Truly an excellent book.

More details
Strategies in Workers' Compensation, written with the healthcare medical professional in mind, describes the nuts and bolts of workers compensation. The book details the history, laws, various stakeholders, costs, and problems encountered by healthcare providers. An emphasis is placed on the "difficult patient" with regard to management techniques for doctors, insurance companies, and employers. In addition, Strategies in Workers' Compensation offers reference material to aid in understanding the complex system.
A DOCTOR IN THE FIELD
THIS BOOK IS GREAT TO HELP NEW AND EXISTING DOCTORS LEARN ABOUT THE WORKERS COMPENSATION SYSTEM. DR. SALL DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH HISTORCIAL AND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS WHEN DEALING WITH THE INJURED WORKER AND THE ROLE THE CLINICIAN SHOULD PERFORM.I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE. THANKS DR. RICHARD SALL FOR TAKING THE TIME TO RESEARCH AND WRITE THIS BOOK!!! ... Read more

An essential guide
This book is a must-read for anyone who employs or cross-examines expert witnesses. And, frankly, anyone who might be called upon to give expert witness testimony would be well-advised to read it as well. Great Resource
As a mental health professional dealing with court issues both for myself and colleagues, this book has been a great resource. The information has enabled us to enter a courtroom with much more confidence and much less anxiety. Mr. Stern's work has helped to make sense of an often frustratingand confusing experience.

Worried about expert testimony? This will help.
This is a jewel of a book. Mr. Stern follows his own advice: know your literature, know your audience, and speak English. As a forensic nurse and educator, I would recommend this book to any examiner who is about to facethe rigors of courtroom testimony. ... Read more
