A long-overdue legal reference book

Dr. Wear-Finkle has succeeded in creating an extremely well-written, comprehensive reference book of a generally unfamiliar and very intimidating subject to most clinicians. Her approach is impressive in both its clarity and organization. While it is an easy read, it goes beyond a "...for Dummies" approach. This excellent reference is worth the time investment to read in its entirety. After reading it, a physician has a greater respect, and less unfounded fear, of lawsuits. Dr. Wear-Finkle provides simple, common sense, and some not-so-obvious tips on avoiding litigation, as well as sound advice on what to do when litigation occurs. It is appropriate addition to any clinician's library.

A great tongue and cheek approach

A wonderful tongue and cheek approach to what is to often an after thought in the world of medicine. Whether you're a practitioner or an administrator you'll find this humorous little book a priceless guide to avoiding the day-to-day gauntlet of potentially disastrous medico legal risks. Wear-Finkle has crafted a tremendous quick read resource that will be invaluable tool for the beginner or even the most seasoned veteran of the healthcare field. A must buy!!!!
