The verdict deals with the very current issue of malpractice: the surgeons sold the operation, as "a cancer' & performed a hysterectomy (removal of uterus) on the patient without her permission. Before the operation, despite repeated suggestions from the doctors, she refused to have a tubal ligation (sterilization). This in itself meant that she wanted to retain the ability to have children. The case ("A very, very interesting case," said the judge) & its presentation are highly unusual! The basis of the book is the transcript of proceedings of the trial, which is given detailed commentary by a defendant Mr. Morgan. All his remarks (and the strongly emotional introduction) are strictly documented & based on data from medical texts, medical procedures, or in contradictions in the testimony of the defendants. At the end of the book, the author employs a new & unusual method. He asks the reader to be a member of the jury & to bring ina verdict based on the material in the book. He poses the questions asked by he judge at the real trial which took place in Newarkton, N.J., October 1-4 & some questions of his own. Following the case with the author, the reader will observe many judicial & psychological clashes & will share (or choose not to share) the tragedy of the young woman & her family. The reader will learn the many subtleties of the courtroom trial, including the relationship between the judge & the jury. The verdict reached by the readers shall be sent to author or Mr. Morgan by E-mail or by a regular mail. Millions of men & women, the latter in particular, will read this book with great interest & excitement & be able to participate in the jury through the author's handling of the trial.Lubin, Y. is the author of 'Verdict The Reader Passes the Verdict on a Medical Malpractice Case' with ISBN 9781581127690 and ISBN 1581127693.
