Main description:

The overwhelming response and appreciation which this book received by doctors and lawyers both has encouraged us to come out with a revised edition of the same. This book provides full information, complete with formats of forms to be filled and records to be kept by the practitioner in a newly added chapter "MTP Act-An Overview, Myths, Misconceptions and Remedies with FAQs". A new chapter "Understanding the PNDT Act with FAQs" has been added to this book for a better understanding of the new Act "Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PNDT Act)" by the medical practitioners. The book describes in simple language the intricacies of law, how to deal with legal notices, how, when and where to appeal in case of medical litigations, and provides preventive steps in detail, to be taken by the doctor to avoid litigations. Lastly, the book presents various aspects of the law which govern the action of doctors and how the medical professional service providers should handle the critical situations to avoid medical litigations.
