In Malpractice, neurosurgeon and attorney Dr. Lawrence Schlachter makes a case that most patients enter the system without any idea of the risks they face, due to a medical culture that denies there is a patient safety problem. He argues that medical culture actively avoids transparency, perpetuates an atmosphere of blind deference to doctors, and protects dangerous doctors from accountability. 541 $d 20170605. 650 0 $a Medical personnel $x Malpractice $z United States. 650 1 $a Medical care $z United States $x Quality control. 650 0 $a Medical errors $z United States. 650 0 $a Hospital patients $x Legal status, laws, etc $z United States. 700 $a Bechtel, John Hendricks, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728012758.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13F4C46A9DC911E7A2584B2097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
