Incorporating in-depth interviews, statistical data, and prior studies, Fielding illustrates how modern medicine is a victim of its own success. The historical record since the early 19th century shows that the rate of malpractice claims has increased as medicine developed new and more complex procedures. Fielding integrates macro- and micro-levels of analysis to explain how scientific medicine is inherently prone to adverse outcomes no matter how competent medical provisions are and how patients often feel their personal experiences and views are marginalized during the course of their medical care. This combination makes it more likely that patients will sue when something goes wrong.

In conjunction with changing economic circumstances surrounding health care in the United States since 1945, malpractice insurance has contributed to changing patterns of control in medicine. Today, inflationary pressures associated with medical malpractice are clashing with endeavors to contain costs in health care. Hay provides a thorough investigation of the development of medical liability insurance in the United States--and its implications for tort law reform and health care provision. The book transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries to provide a straightforward account of circumstances giving rise to particular forms of legal, medical, and social regulation in the United States.
