内容説明

Before the mid-1980s, there was virtually no research on medical accidents. In other fields - e.g. aviation, road and rail travel, nuclear power - accidents were intensively investigated, but in medicine, accidents and errors were seldom discussed publicly. Although most doctors could provide examples of occasions on which patients had been injured during treatment, or had narrowly avoided serious injury, very few systematic studies had been published . Since then, however, there has been a greater willingness to acknowledge and investigate medical accidents, and a marked increase in the journals of many different disciplines, and there is no easy way of obtaining an overall view of this important area. This book attempts to provide this wider perspective.
