title: Strange Bedfellows: How Medical Jurisprudence Has Influenced Medical Ethics and Medical Practice
author:  Ben A. Rich 
description: <strong>`</strong>The writing style, like most good American academic texts, is clear, unambiguous and easy to follow. It is a great shame for UK medical practitioners that we do not have a similar book for English, Scottish and European law. This is a book that I will recommend to more enthusiastic students.<strong>'</strong> <br /> <strong>Iain Smith, Nuffield Institute for Health, University of Leeds</strong> in <strong>Journal of Health Organization and Management, 17:6 (2003)</strong>
