An apple a day keeps the doctor away-but what wards off lawyers? If you’re a doctor, the answer is sound legal education. The trouble is that most physicians don’t have it, and many of them get sued. The rate of malpractice lawsuits has recently skyrocketed, and the corresponding rise in malpractice insurance premiums is a burden many doctors cannot bear. According to some estimates, malpractice costs in the United States have increased by an average of 12% every year since 1975.
Now, there’s preventative medicine for doctors. In The Malpractice Cure,Aphysician can be sued because he didn’t call a patient who skipped a follow-up. Some doctors end up in court because their notes differ slightly from a nurse’s report. Doctors can be sued for forgetting to remind patients to return if their symptoms persist. It’s the simplest errors that can land a doctor in court, and McCarthy explains the most common oversights.
Unlike other books for doctors that concentrate solely on safe medical care,The Malpractice Cureexplains the habits of doctors and their office policies that all but the most litigious patients ignore. And, if the worst happens, readers will find a special section on what to do when you get sued. Whether they work in hospitals or private offices, and no matter their medical specialty, doctors have much to learn from clients of Mr. McCarthy who should have known better.

What You Must Know About The Poisons in Your Medicine Chest. If you knew what we know about the most popular prescription and over-the-counter drugs, you’d be sick. That’s why Dr. Douglass wrote Dangerous (Legal) Drugs. He gives you the low-down on 15 different categories of drugs: everything from painkillers and cold remedies to tranquilizers and powerful cancer drugs. Organized medicine should stop worrying about competition from alternative health practitioners, such as chiropractors and homeopaths, and clean up its own act. How can doctors expect their patients to have any confidence in their prescriptions or their advice on such life and death matters as cancer therapy, if patients are wondering how much money doctors are making because they are suggesting one particular line of therapy as opposed to another? Americans, barraged with warnings about the dangers of crack and other street drugs, have more to fear from the medicine they get from their doctor. Most Americans will not come into contact with crack, but they can get exposed to some lethal stuff, and be completely unaware of it, from their family doctor.
