{"product_id":"9781581127690","title":"The Verdict","description":"i\u0026gt;The Verdictdeals with the very current issue of malpractice: the surgeons sold the operation, as \"a cancer\", and 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 tubal ligation (sterilization). This in itself meant that she wanted to retain the  ability to have children.\u003cp\u003e    The case (\"A very, very interesting case,\" said the judge) and 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 and based on data from medical texts, medical procedures,  or in contradictions in the testimony of the defendants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    At the end of the book, the author employs a new and unusual method. He asks the reader to be a member of the jury and to  bring in a verdict based on the material in the book. He poses the questions asked by the judge at the real trial, which took  place in Newarkton, N.J., October 1-4, 1994 and some questions of his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Following the case with the author, the reader will observe many judicial and psychological clashes, and will share (or  choose not to share) the tragedy of the young woman and her family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The reader will learn the many subtleties of the courtroom trial, including the relationship between the judge and the jury.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The verdict reached by the readers shall be sent to the author or to Mr. Morgan by E-mail or by a regular mail.  Millions of men and women, the latter in particular, will read this book with great interest and excitement and be able to  participate in the jury through the author's handling of the trial.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal-Publishers.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040820084976,"sku":"9781581127690","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781581127690_p0.jpg?v=1763802874","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781581127690","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
