9781480890596: Medical Error, Ethics, and Apology

Synopsis

Ethicists and medical scholars agree that adverse medical events should be disclosed to patients and families. However, defining what constitutes a medical error can be difficult.

Richard George Boudreau, a maxillofacial surgeon, bioethicist, attorney, and forensic expert, examines medical errors and adverse medical events - as well as how apologies and disclosures can actually reduce litigation costs. Get the answers to questions such as:

- Why is litigation the wrong way to deal with medical error?

- What has led to the medical culture of deny and defend?

- How can disputes be resolved without litigation?

- Can communication and resolution programs be more effective?

The book contains a history of medicine, medical errors, and litigation; outlines what philosophers have said about medical error; and contains case studies on what to do and what not to do.
