(More customer reviews)
I bought this book because I am currently studying Master of Laws in Medical Law in Northumbria.
I found this book particularly useful for preparing my law assignments on legal medicine with special references to UK cases.
I wished I have reached this book earlier in my master course, which gives me a clearer picture of concepts of medical litigations.
