DESCRIPTION

This book uses 20 practical scenarios to tease out and provide a clear understanding of the legal and ethical issues in blood transfusion practice that confront clinicians daily. The authors have contributed a great wealth of knowledge to this book from their own experiences for which regular physician and lawyer trainings seldom prepare. Take-home messages elegantly summarise the key points. This book will interest medical practitioners, medical students, nurses, lawyers, patients and the general reader.

“It is a pleasure to commend this book. The clinical case scenarios were particularly good and appropriate… It should succeed in its mission of giving ‘the right blood to the right patient for the right reason’…”
