More About the Author
I wrote my first book when I was in second grade, titled, "The Adventures of Drancy New." Obviously, it lacked originality. Since then, I taught school--college biology, high school sciences, and grades one and three--then published 15 books and 500 magazine articles. I'm an animal lover with a fifteen-pound cat named Boog, and I live in deep timber some twenty miles from Mount Rushmore. Nonfiction has been good to me and I love writing it, but I'm also working on a young adult mystery series.

This review is from: Law & Ethics for Medical Careers (Paperback)
I had to use this book for a 100 level medical law class im taking at a community college. i took the class online and had to use this book. i was scared... to hear the word "law" is pretty scary to me. when i first got this book, it was so easy to read, i blew through like 3 chapters in one night. this book is GREAT! id recommmend it to anyone who wants to know basic medical law information, such as HIPAA, living will, power of attorney and licence reciprocity.

Easy for learning but too many examples,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Law & Ethics for Medical Careers (Paperback)
This book makes learning fairly easy with helpful cases to relate to the information. Each chapter has approximately 7 cases to make the content relatable. The cases also include titles that make it easy to know which term they relate to. One thing that makes it more difficult to get through the material is that they list far too many examples for the topics. For example, when they go through why a physician needs to be caring they list 12 to 15 examples instead of 1 or 2. It's almost like beating a dead horse.

This review is from: Law & Ethics for Medical Careers (Paperback)
If you're in the medical field and taking this class this is a great text book to use. It gives a great overview of the Law and Ethical side of medicine; as well as, the basic moral values and ethics involved in the medical environment.
