Not Totally Satisying!
Despite the claim that this caters to the needs of plaintiffs, defendants and medical consultants, this book is primarily geared to the legalpractitioner who needs a comprehensive background knowledge in medicine andclinical practice. This is so obvious when a major portion of the book isdedicated to "Medicine for Lawyers". The book gives a respectableoverview of the nuances of medical practice. This may be helpful to theuninitiated prosecuting or defending a malpractice case. Those already deepinto the practice of medical litigation will find it trite. I find it tooexpensive for its contents. There are other books on the subject matterwith more meat at less cost.

Well suited as a course textbook.
Lewis overviews winning strategies for locating and selecting medical experts and consultants.The critical aspect of defendant performance within or below professional standards for clinical practice is explained,along with analysis of what type of expert witness could most effectivelyappraise and testify regarding these standards.The author concludes thisdiscussion with a listing of resources for further investigation of expertsand professional standards. ...

Dearth of Death Data but some Gruesome & Missing Photos
"Handbook for Death Scene Investigators," Jay Dix & Mary Ernst: 0-8493-0298-6 (1999) has only 66 pages (11 chapters) of basic material on types of deaths, timing of deaths, decompositions, evidence collecting, signs of CPR and suggestions that forensic sub-specialists are needed in some cases.Appendix A has 12 page glossary of terminology, B has 14 page list of Rx medicines and Appendix C has 6 page narrative describing 45 B/W photographs of deaths, decomposition and injuries including 2 damaged vehicles. A True Pocket Guide
This handbook is one of the few books that you can actually take with you out into the field. Ernst and Dix (of the famed St. Louis University School of Medicine's Medico-Legal Death Investigators Training Course) Have packedthe basic scene investigation guidelines, medication reference, andreference photos into an interesting and usable form for the rookie andexperienced investigator alike. ...

Imperative Reading for Clinicians Involved in Custody Work
This is a comprehensive and much-needed compilation of material for the custody evaluator.The authors provide an unbiased review of the research literature, clarifying the validity of assumptions regarding parenteffectiveness, visitation schedules, and children's adustment to divorce. They point out the importance of considering context and individual dyadsrather than relying on broad-based conclusions generated from anyparticular study.They have covered a breadth of topics, beginning withlegal and ethical issues, relevant child development and adjustment issues,and psychological testing.Among other topics included are "theremarriage family," adopted children, medically ill children, andchildren of gay and lesbian parents. This work can be a useful referencefor clinicians working with children of divorce, but for those performingcustody evaluations it should be required reading. ... Read more

Funny and Sobering!
This book shows how foolish people have been in their quest for cures from disease and perfect health.The sad part is that it's still going on all around us and people are absolutely serious about it.Except now it's called "alternative medicine" and the government is spending taxpayers' dollars on it.Hilarious indeed!

Quaint, preposterous, and horrifying medical devices
Quack!: Tales Of Medical Fraud From The Museum Of Questionable Medical Devices is an informative and fascinating compendium of quaint, preposterous, and occasionally horrifying medical devices foisted upon the public by calculating charlatans and misguided medical practitioners. Some of these purveyors held the public's rapt attention for a time (Albert Abrams, who believed that all that was needed from a patient was a drop of blood, a single hair, or a handwriting sample which gave off a "vibration" that could be used for diagnosis and treatment, was promoted by Upton Sinclair in "Pearson's" magazine), while others were simple snake-oil vintage conmen whose tactics were to "hit and run". Profusely illustrated with photographs of odd medical mechanism, period advertisements, and newspaper clippings of the day, Bob McCoy (curator of the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices) offers a full-spectrum, very highly recommended survey of American medical quackery from the Prostate Gland Warmer to the Recto Rotor, the Nose Straightener to the Wonder Electric Generator.

A cure for all that ails you!
The long wait ends for a modern book on quack medical devices!The quality is everything one might hope for and more. Excellent quality, and highly entertaining. ... Read more

Required Reading
As indicated by the subtitle, this book is unashamedly against the legalization of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, but it is written in a moderate and reasoned tone and in a manner easily understood whether you are a health care professional, lawyer, politician or just an interested member of the public. At last!
At last there is a book that covers this contentious and complex topic in an easy-to-understand manner without over-simplification or devaluing the importance of the subject.Dr Keown has succeeded in writing a book that engages the reader with the issues involved, whilst ensuring that the non-expert is not left adrift.I would strongly recommend this book to everyone.
