Fascinating This is an excellent book for getting to grips with medico-legal issues. Cases are discussed in enough detail for you to understand the issues but without confusing legalistic jargon. Good breath and depth of information. It's actually quite readable for a med/law book. Highly recommended.
The subjects covered include natural and assisted reproduction, the impact of modern genetics on medicine, medical confidentiality, consent to medical treatment, the use of resources and problems surrounding death in the new medical era. It is of significance to anyone with an interest in the ethical and legal practice of medicine.. Mason and McCall Smith's classic textbook discusses the relationship of medical practice and ethics with the operation of the law
