Features: Since the "Medical Malpractice Handling Regulations" (promulgated by the State Council in April 2002) took effect on September 1, 2002, the handling of medical malpractice and disputes has undergone significant changes. To facilitate patients and their families in understanding the entire process of medical malpractice dispute resolution and paying attention to specific issues during the process, this book has been compiled. The content covers the concepts, identification, handling, compensation, and evaluation of medical malpractice and disputes, including several situations that do not constitute medical malpractice, presented in a question-and-answer format. Readers can select relevant sections based on their needs. The text and content are written as clearly and simply as possible. For issues or content not explicitly specified in regulations, traditional Chinese practices in handling medical malpractice are introduced. Controversial topics are presented with different perspectives to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding. Although written for patients, this book is also suitable for medical professionals and legal practitioners.
