OVERVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
by Fillmore Buckner, MD. JD, FCLM
(ISBN 0-938609-70-X) This easy-to-read account of the development of
American medical malpractice also includes some parallel notes on the
social status of the physician. Although primarily for health care
providers with a medical-legal interest, this book should also be of
value to the health care law practitioner with a limited background in
legal history. The focus is on historical facts that help to explain the
development of malpractice law. The economic, social and political
forces that have impacted the practice of medicine and law and the
social status of physicians are reviewed. It is the author's hope that
this volume will fill the need for a text on the origins, development,
present status and possible future directions of malpractice.
