Publisher's Synopsis
Numerous misconceptions and myths have accumulated in the last 3-4 decades in clinical engineering (CE), also known as health technology management (HTM), in the inevitable process of becoming a mature profession. While some of them are not serious, others may cause harm to patients or, at least, waste precious limited resources, which is ill affordable by the healthcare industry due to the ever-rising costs. This book is the compilation of over a decade of presentations made by the author to challenge the conventional wisdom and uncover the truth. To make the more interesting to read, a series of tests-in the form of statements-is presented for the reader to decide whether they are false (fake news), true (true facts), or myths (legends). Each statement is then examined in detail (fact checked) to determine which is the right choice.
