Attorneys,
Legal Nurse Consultants, medical professionals practicing
in the clinical setting - you don’t want to be
without it. Nursing Malpractice is an indispensible
component to your medical/legal library; if you do not
have it, grab your copy today. Your success is banking
on it.
Patricia
W. Iyer MSN, RN, LNCC and Barbara J. Levin BSN, RN,
ONC, LNCC have out done themselves again with the third
edition of Nursing Malpractice. Both well-known
and well-respected Legal Nurse Consultants, they certainly
flaunt their knowledge and experience with this one.
One glance at the Contributors’ list alone and
you know you have your hands on an invaluable, comprehensive
tool. It is rare to find the mix of expertise as seen
here – MD/JDs, JDs, RNs
from all spectrums, LNCs, PhDs, a Pharmacist . . . .
. need I go on! With forty five chapters devoted to
a broad spectrum of extensive issues which have been
defined in parts as follows: Patient Safety, Nursing
Practice, Common Areas of Nursing Liability, Advanced
Roles (in nursing), Causes of Action, Damages, and Litigation
of Nursing Malpractice Claims, it would be impossible,
even from first glance, to deny what you have your hands
on. Whether a seasoned litigator, a practicing LNC,
or a novice just starting out, you will gain essential
information every time you pick up the book and turn
a page. The format is so methodical, well-organized
and systematic, you will never waste time finding exactly
what you need.
In
addition to their fabulous work in compilation and editing,
Ms. Iyer and Ms. Levin contribute their own expertise
throughout the book with authored chapters including
topics such as: Pain and Suffering; The Roots of Patient
Injury; Medical Errors: Roots of Litigation; Orthopaedics;
Working with Legal Nurse Consultants . . . . I have
barely touched on the vast subject matter included in
this phenomenal, comprehensive masterpiece. As a Legal
Nurse Consultant myself with nine years of in-depth
experience working as both consultant and expert with
both plaintiff and defense attorneys, I must say that
this book stands out as one of the most valuable resources
I have ever used. Bravo Ladies!
