Editorial Reviews
Review
"I would highly recommended this book because Morreim raises, in a clear and concrete manner, important issues that are often neglected in bioethics." --Medical Humanities Review
"The current provision of medical service is caught in a tight vise. Expectations for care are ever higher; the standards required of physicians and hospital are ever more stringent, and the resources to satisfy these demands ever more constrained. Working the way through this thicket is one of the main challenges of modern health care policy. Haavi Morreim has been an astute observer of these trends for the past generations, and in this volume offers her own roadmap to our nation's health care problems."--Richard Epstein, University of Chicago
Product Description
Univ. of Tennessee, Memphis. Explains why new economic realities have rendered prevailing malpractice and contract law anachronistic. Argues that pointing the legal finger of blame blindly or hastily can hinder good medical care. Proposes focusing first on who should be doing what, for the best delivery of health care, rather than saying 'whom do we want to hold liable.'
