The Best Med Law Text For RadSci & Imaging

Ann Obergfell is an attorney and radiologic sciences professor who has become an authority on medical and labor law issues related to the radiologic and medical imaging sciences. This text misses very little, it has full chapters on not only the traditional areas such as negligence and malpractice, documentation, standards of care and patient rights, ethics, & risk management, but also addresses critical areas such as labor law, discrimination in employment, safety, whistleblower protections, and issues for education of students in clinical centers.The strength of the text is in its down-to-earth applicability combined with a strong academic undercurrent with proper citations and references to case law as well as the literature of legal issues in the professions.This is the one med law text that needed to be written.....now it's available.....if you are serious about administration, professional issues, or education, you really need to have this one on your shelf.
