The law in general practice; some chapters in every-day forensic medicine

The law in general practice; some chapters in every-day forensic medicine - is a work which was published in 1908 and written by Stanley Bean Atkinson. It is said that medical students learn many things that they will never need in subsequent practice, and in subsequent practice, many things will be required that they, as students, never learned. The chapters in this book are intended to supplement the usual instructions now being taught to students; they can also be helpful for busy practitioners. This book consists of eight main chapters, bibliography, index to cases cited and general index. There are such topics introduced in this book as: Practical Cautions and Precautions; Medical Evidence and Medical Witnesses; Medical Certificates and Reports; The Law of Defamation in Relation to the Medical Practitioner; Negligence and Malpraxis in Medical Practice; Some Difficult Clinical Occasions; Cases arising in the Coroner's Court; Some Limitations of Medical Evidence.
