Plueckhahn stands as one of its most rigorous guides. Ethics Legal Medicine and Forensic Pathology presents a comprehensive examination of the medical practitioner's legal and ethical obligations, chronicling the intricate relationships between clinical practice, post-mortem science, and the judicial system. Plueckhahn draws on decades of professional expertise to detail the principles governing cause-of-death investigation, medical negligence, and the ethical dilemmas that arise when medicine intersects with the law. Grounded in Australian legal frameworks while retaining broad relevance, the text instructs both students and seasoned practitioners on the standards and responsibilities that define medico-legal practice.\n\nPlueckhahn's writing is precise and methodical, reflecting the exacting nature of forensic science itself, yet it remains accessible enough to serve as a trusted reference across multiple disciplines — medicine, law, and public health alike. The work argues compellingly that ethical integrity is not peripheral to forensic pathology but is, in fact, its very foundation, illustrating how moral philosophy and scientific rigour must coexist in the examination room and the courtroom. With its synthesis of case-based insight and doctrinal analysis, this volume remains an essential touchstone for anyone navigating the demanding terrain where human biology meets the demands of justice — leaving the reader to question just how thin the line truly is between a medical fact and a legal truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336801853659,"sku":"2026200016304-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/471a989a-38f6-4986-b696-b7d19e2492ee.png?v=1789957944","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016304-secondhand-ethics-legal-medicine-and-forensic-pathology","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
