Reviews
From the reviews:
“Presents the information using a case-based format, followed by discussions of medical and medicolegal highlights. … it would be better suited for educators who are teaching medical students and physicians in training as an introduction to this topic. … The themes of appropriate medical therapy and effective patient communication are reinforced throughout the book.” (John S. Czachor, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2011)Authors and Affiliations
