"'Today's physician is under pressures that physicians of prior generations would find hard to imagine. In Learning from Medical Errors: legal issues [the authors] deal systematically with the causes and effects of medical errors that have a disturbing tendency to creep into our medical practices unless we take positive steps to prevent them. All of us can benefit from a review of our clinical practices through the eyes of the authors' text, and their work brings a rigor and thoroughness to the analysis that satisfies our sense of professionalism. Their many examples...are well chosen and instructive. I recommend this text to physicians who are seeking a comprehensive text to help them avoid litigation and improve their quality of care.' David S Starr, in the Foreword"
Anh-Vu Nguyen and Dung A Nguyen are, respectively, emergency physician and clinical assistant professor, University of South Florida College of Medicine, Tampa and Florida State University College of Medicine; medical director, Patients First Appleyard, Tallahassee and clinical assistant professor, Florida State University College of Medicine.
