Malpractice litigation is now a fact of medical life. Short of three years of law school, how is a doctor to know what to do when he or she is sued or called as an expert witness? This comprehensive guide has the answers. From the heart-stopping delivery of the first legal document to the final resolution of the case, the authors offer sound advice, valuable dos and don'ts, and reassuring insights.
