Introduction

Now in its third edition, The Rights of Patients offers fully documented exposition and explanation of the rights of patients from birth to death.

The Rights of Patients is an invaluable resource not only for patients and their families but also for physicians, hospital administrators, medical and nursing students, and other health care workers.
