Book excerpt: Amid great concern for universal health care is succinct, well documented, accessible review of malpractice liability in health care and related professions. Freedman explores the nature of malpractice using commonly understood codes of ethics and statements of principles promulgated by the major associations of the health care industry itself, and then looks at malpractice liability from the viewpoint of court decisions and the fact patterns on which they are based. He also considers professional malpractice insurance and the right of health care industry professionals to determine for themselves whether the gains to be had from settling a claim out of court might outweigh the potential benefits from a successful litigation. Not just for attorneys but for their clients too, Freedman's book guides professionals through the principles of malpractice law, and in doing so provides them with guidance they need in today's malpractice crazed society.
