Bouncebacks! Medical and Legalbrings the reader straight to the sidelines of ten medical malpractice cases providing an inside look into the courtroom as the plaintiff and defense argue their cases. The authors spare the reader of some of the nitty gritty workings of litigation by summarizing portions of it but are sure to focus in when necessary to provide blow-by-blow accounts at critical junctures. Intertwined with the case presentations are post-trial interviews with some of the attorneys - plaintiff and defense - and medical experts to get their inside thoughts on the case. There is additional case commentary solicited from some of the most renowned minds in emergency medicine including Gregory Henry, Peter Rosen, Jerry Hoffman and more.
If this book has a downside it is that one or two of the ten cases presented have already been discussed in detail on podcasts, EMRAP and Risk Management Monthly. So if you subscribe to these, there may be some redundancy.
