The Story of Gunnar Hansen Book 2

<p>The headline in the morning edition of the local paper was printed in large black letters:</p><h2><strong>LOCAL SURGEON SUED FOR MALPRACTICE</strong></h2><p></p><p>The surgeon was unaware he was being sued until he read it in the paper. Not a very nice way to start the day.</p><p></p><p>Still that's how one of the five true malpractice cases presented in this book begins. Each story examines how the defendants-all doctors-responded to the emotional burden of being sued and how their defense attorneys helped them.</p><p></p><p>To successfully defend a malpractice case the defense attorney must show the jury the difference between negligence on the part of the physician and what simply is a bad outcome but not the fault of the physician.</p>
