Medicolegal issues for the dermatologist.
Medicolegal issues for the dermatologist cannot be ignored. Appropriate legal advice from an attorney with such expertise may represent an unwanted office expense. However, the value of this advice in an increasingly hostile health care environment cannot be underestimated. Legal consultation, an insurance policy against the vagaries of health care law, has become a necessity in our litigious society.
