Emergency Medicine and the Law,
This review is from: Legal Problems in Emergency Medicine (Oxford Handbooks in Emergency Medicine) (Paperback)
As an Emergency Medicine resident with an interest in Legal Aspects/Risk Management I was somewhat disappointed with this book. It is part of a British series of medicine books (Oxford Handbooks). Chapters are divided up into key points, description of cases with points of interest, and practical points. The down side is the book is based on the English legal system which is much different than the US system. One example is in the chapter for obtaining consent from minors they use the 'Gillick aware' standard. They do explain the background for it, but in the US we don't have a case law precedent we use for the determination of competence. For practical purposes it has no benefit for practicing EM physicians in the US. There are better US books out there. It would interest people with an interest in the law and the British system.
