Sometimes the cause is medical error. But sometimes the cause is politics. The issues underlying many medical catastrophes are numerous: a power struggle between providers, uncertainty over who’s in charge, reluctance to practice good medicine for fear of being fired, specialization run amok, part-time doctoring, and more. Doctors often prefer to ignore the problems, but patient safety demands that they be aired, as does the future of the medical profession."--Dust jacket flap. 650 0 $a Medical errors. 650 0 $a Interprofessional relations. 650 12 $a Medical Errors. 650 12 $a Practice Patterns, Physicians'. 650 22 $a Interprofessional Relations. 650 22 $a Physician-Patient Relations. 650 22 $a Physician's Role. 650 7 $a MEDICAL / Physician & Patient. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Interprofessional relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977474 650 7 $a Medical errors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014077 655 2 $a Personal Narratives. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dworkin, Ronald William. $t Medical catastrophe. $d Lanham : Rowman & Littlefield, [2017] $z 9781442265769 $w (DLC) 2016031790 941 $a 2 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626015709.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20171129010211.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F5AD9DF6D4D211E7967FB26A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
