This review is from: Law & Ethics for Medical Careers (Paperback)

I had to use this book for a 100 level medical law class im taking at a community college. i took the class online and had to use this book. i was scared... to hear the word "law" is pretty scary to me. when i first got this book, it was so easy to read, i blew through like 3 chapters in one night. this book is GREAT! id recommmend it to anyone who wants to know basic medical law information, such as HIPAA, living will, power of attorney and licence reciprocity.

This review is from: Law & Ethics for Medical Careers (Paperback)

I purchased this textbook for a Medical Law & Ethics class which I was taking in college. I really enjoyed this book, it was set up in a way which made it very easy to obtain the important information. It also had court cases as examples too which helped to clarify some things. One of the best textbooks I've used!

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy for learning but too many examples, Oct 24 2010

By Janessa - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Law & Ethics for Medical Careers (Paperback)

This book makes learning fairly easy with helpful cases to relate to the information. Each chapter has approximately 7 cases to make the content relatable. The cases also include titles that make it easy to know which term they relate to. One thing that makes it more difficult to get through the material is that they list far too many examples for the topics. For example, when they go through why a physician needs to be caring they list 12 to 15 examples instead of 1 or 2. It's almost like beating a dead horse.
