A clinician, attorney, educator, and medico-legal consultant, Fiscina analyzes the interaction between law and medicine by presenting legal issues and principles derived from clinical situations familiar to attending physicians, medical students, and others involved in health care. The case studies will permit physicians to observe and assess whether or not their professional conduct is legally acceptable. The cases allow Fiscina to explore the legal implications of the physician’s conduct under varying clinical circumstances. Each chapter traces specifically the way the law measures performance of clinical tasks. Because medical practice necessarily involves many instances of choice and decision, knowing the legal points of comparison generally applied will permit more rational and assured choices when questions arise. Some of the case studies contain facts and circumstances that should alert a physician to the presence of questionable circumstances and propose the reasonable (in the legal sense) course of action.

Because the facts are so important and interesting in medical liability litigation, the authors of this law school casebook have selected cases with thorough statements of facts as well as intelligible discussions of law. The authors have avoided including medical and legal horror stories; instead, a good many cases illustrate commonplace situations in medical practice that lawyers have to discuss with doctors over and over. The medical practitioner orientation looks at negligence, informed consent, bioethics, and insurance through the eyes of doctors and other health care providers. The authors are not plaintiff-oriented or defendant-oriented; they are trying to show the interplay of lawyers and doctors in many roles.
