What types of cases have a tendency to misdiagnosis or mismanagement? What are the key ways of avoiding litigation? This book provides answers to these questions, using examples of cases in which the authors have been involved personally. Their aim is to demonstrate the reasons why litigation arose in each case and ways in which such problems could have been avoided. Along with the common themes of malpractice cases, the behaviour characteristics of surgeons which predispose to litigation are explored. The emphasis is on how to avoid the situations and circumstances which expose the surgeon to suit. The wide range of examples discussed provide the reader, particularly the younger one, with a 'cumulative' experience which only the habitually negligent surgeon will experience in a lifetime of surgical practice.
