Medical Sense

For those attorneys who loved “Gilly's” in law school, Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment (CMDT), by Lange, McGraw-Hill, will simplify your ability to understand medicine. One of the problems, for non-physician attorneys who engage in medically related litigation is that the purchase of a major textbook — a treatise — introduces just the beginning of the problem of understanding medicine. Many (most) textbooks are impenetrable and written for doctors, not lawyers. Lawrence Tierney, Stephen McPhee, and Maxine Papadakis have created an indispensable medical reference intended as a general overview for doctors in training, doctors in practice … and for attorneys who need the “straight up” on most medical maladies. CMDT is arranged by system and then, within each system, discusses the major maladies. For the attorney, this is the place to begin any medical sleuthing. The really good news is the cost. This book is a very reasonable $50. Compare this with any major internal medicine book, which generally begin at prices over $150. These books are rewritten periodically.
