Medicine, the Law and You is a fascinating collection of court cases and medico-legal scenarios in which forensic evidence played a vital and pivotal role. The case, from far and wide, include the high-profile rape trial of Jacob Zuma, the murder trials of Oscar Pistorius and Sharma Kooky, the Clinton-Lewinsky Zippergate scandal, the death of a Ugandan General and many more. The book illustrates the fundamental relationship between the patient and the healthcare provider and highlights cases of medical negligence where this relationship was breached. Criminalizing deaths as a result of gross medical negligence and legislation against the deliberate transmission of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are some of the contemporary themes that are covered in the book.
