Myself, along with two of my friends and colleagues Dr. Lavlesh Kumar and Dr. Krishnadutt Chavali, have come up with our new book titled 'Legal Medicine Manual' published by Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers, New Delhi.
We feel that major burden of medico-legal work in India lies on the untrained shoulders of medical officers who work at peripheral health centers and duty medical officers of various hospitals. The doctors usually when confronted with a medicolegal case are not in a position to deal with the situation due to lack of adequate training in the field. A textbook in forensic medicine is not of much help at that stage.
This was when we conceived a need for a book that can provide practical and field-based information to deal with such situations in appropriate manner and the present book was born. It is designed to provide brief and essential assistance in our day to day practice in the field of forensic medicine and toxicology.
The book is not another textbook in the subject of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology and the whole subject cannot be found – nor is intended to be found - in this book.
This books deals with the practical aspects of the subject forensic medicine, medical jurisprudence and toxicology. It is solely concerned with examination for medicolegal purposes. The contents are intended to be useful to undergraduate students, postgraduate students, interns, practitioners, duty medical officers in hospitals and medical officers in the government hospitals as well as to lawyers and police.We feel that in present times when our hospitals and doctors are being constantly scrutinized in the public, this type of book is a must to avoid an embarrassing situation while dealing with medicolegal issues.
The book covers routine medicolegal issues along with postmortem examination in detail. We have tried to make it simple and easy to understand. The treatment of the topics is designed to offer practical advice when confronted with medicolegal issues. All three of us are “freshers” in the field of forensic medicine and any suggestions/criticism towards improving this book in future editions are always welcome. We hope that this book shall be useful to all those who deal with medicolegal work and serve its purpose.
The book is available at leading book stores at cover price of Rs. 295/- or can be ordered through online shopping at http://www.jaypeebrothers.com/ or at +91 11 32558559
