Editorial Review

On April 1, 1984, Donna Sabia went into labor expecting twins. But one of the babies arrived stillborn, while the other--Anthony Jr.--was barely alive, with an Apgar score (rating newborn vitality on a scale of 0 to 10) of 1. In the following years, he suffered from spastic quadriplegia, cerebral palsy, and cortical blindness, and would require lifelong medical attention costing millions of dollars just to survive. The Sabias' lawyers faulted Donna's maternity clinic and the delivering physician for her son's condition, initiating a 7-year lawsuit on the claim that a simple $40 ultrasound could have eliminated incalculable suffering and catastrophic expense.Read more

Brilliant!
I am a college student studying to be a medical assistant.I had to write an essay on a specific medical lawsuit for my class "Medical Law and Ethics."I have not read a nonfiction book in years, but once I started reading this book I could not put it down.It is so stimulating, exciting, and brilliant.Mr. Werth had little to work with since there was no court room drama.He did a spectacular job with the resources he had.He is indeed an intelligent writer.I wish him well.

Instructive page turner...
Well written, a gripping story and balanced.I am teaching a course on medical malpractice at the local law school.This book is the text.It provides a frame work to discuss numerous issues and the potential impact - or more accurately non-impact - of many tort reform proposals.

A great resource
The object of this book is to collect, and present to the student, cases, materials, and problems designed to answer the important question, "What is the appropriate remedy?" What is being taught in a remedies course is the ability to request or choose the remedy which is most appropriate to the facts of the case. In the discussion of all of the cases and materials, therefore, the teacher, can stress the principles and policy considerations which underlie the choice of a rememdy. This book has sections on an introduction to remedies, equity, restitution, damages, and remedies in context. ... Read more
