Physician's Guide to Clinical Forensic Medicine (Forensic Science and Medicine)

Rating:
Summary: A Helpful Guide
Review: This book is a valuable resource for physicians needing a good working /functional knowledge in forensic medicine. Clinicians with forays into the forensic side of medical pracctice will find the book helpful since the topics on the fundamentral principles, sexual assault, injutry interpretation and substance misuse are generally well discussed and top notch. The subject on deaths leaves the reader "hanging" as it focuses merely on deaths in custody. The subject should have been dealt with more comprehensively. As the title of the book implies, this is merely a guide to clinical forensics. Readers with keener interest on the subject should resort to the standard textbooks in forensic medicine and forensic poathology. Clinicians working in a litigious environement may benefit from this book.
