Explains to physicians, dentists, nurses and their support staff how to protect themselves from threats of potentially damaging legal actions. The material presented should also be useful for healthcare lawyers, managers, students training for careers as healthcare providers, and patients.

This work sets out to show physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners and their support staff (office managers, receptionists and assistants) how to protect themselves from threats of potentially damaging legal actions through the application of a few important rules. The material presented should also be useful for healthcare lawyers, managers, students training for careers as responsible healthcare providers, and patients who want to know that their physician maintains the highest standards of good practice. It provides the general reader with a behind-the-scenes look at the daily life and challenges of a doctor.

About the author; "Doctor, please ... don't make me sue you!"; it's 9am - do you know what your staff are doing?; first impressions set the tone; "He never heard a word I said"; "The least he could do was show he cared"; "Tell me what's happening"; "signed consent" isn't always "informed consent"; breaking bad news; when mistakes are made or things go wrong; in the hospital or with a consultant, he's still your patient; doctors and nurses - closest allies or worst enemies?; troublemakers - how to spot and get rid of them; the gentle art of billing; how are you doing?; ask your patients with a questionnaire; the patient's charts - last stop before the courthouse.
