No one wants to be sued. A lawsuit is an assault on one's self-image, reputation, and livelihood. It is physically, mentally, and financially draining. The purpose of this book is to provide genetic counselors with varying levels of experience and expertise. It offers them strategies for minimizing the potential for being named in a lawsuit, and provides guidance for the management of current and emerging situations. This is the first book specifically addressing genetic counseling, as opposed to general healthcare risk management. The author has training and experience in both genetic counseling and law, serving as an expert witness in a malpractice case brought against a genetic counselor. The book includes summaries for convenient reference, important court cases, and an appendix of relevant documents.
