This review is from: Learning from Medical Errors: Clinical Problems (Hardcover)

Learning from Medical Errors is a concise overview with pointed advice and learning points by two physicians who have been on the 'front lines', and not from the 'Ivory tower' kind. Each case scenario leads you through the case, and the debriefs the clinician and then brings up actual cases from live patients. Sometimes I find myself sweating through 'near misses', and count myself lucky to have found a concise text for the clinician, the resident or medical student. A must read for those practicing medicine, highly recommended. I haven't found anything like it in one text.
