The Damages Lotteryby Patrick Atiyah
Hart 1997; US$ 86.40A man slips on a dance floor and breaks his leg. He recovers damages. A child has both legs amputated as a result of meningitis and is awarded nothing.

This, according to Tom Baker, is the myth of medical malpractice, and as a reality check he offers The Medical Malpractice Myth , a stunning dismantling of this familiar, but inaccurate,... more...
