The spectre of destructive malpractice lawsuits haunts every practicing doctor who simply wants protection and peace of mind, but most physicians find the world of malpractice confusing and wrapped in legal riddles. This book’s purpose is to explain medical malpractice concepts in everyday terms, combined with solid practical advice to help you:

Protect and safeguard your medical career and practice
Identify what is and isn't considered malpractice
Readily comply with all legal duties required of doctors
Prevent malpractice allegations and minimize liability
Take control to protect assets, and minimize personal and professional losses
Work with your attorneys to establish the best possible defense
Walk through each clinical aspect of the patient encounter from the perspective of a malpractice attorney

Charles Theisler, MD, JD, possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of both medical and legal fields. After receiving undergraduate degrees in biology and psychology he went on to the University of Akron School of Law where he was drawn to the specialized field of medical malpractice; and in an effort to expand his working clinical knowledge, he attended medical school and graduated as a trained physician and surgeon. In addition to two U.S. patents for medical devices, he has an impressive medical and legal publications list. He married his favorite former patient, raised a family, and continues to practice medical malpractice law. When he isn't glued to a medical or legal book, he spends time working outdoors or writing. Dr. Theisler's professional expertise and dedication to helping fellow physicians make him an invaluable resource in the area of medical malpractice.
