Publisher's Synopsis

Long considered a classic on the nature of medical mistakes, Marianne Paget's The Unity of Mistakes is now available to a new generation of readers. Paget - who herself died of a medical error - argued that mistakes are an intrinsic part of the clinical process. Encompassing a much wider range of error than the terms "malpractice," "incompetence," or "negligence" denote, The Unity of Mistakes takes an existential view of medical work in which things go wrong as a matter of course, and probes what Paget called the "complex sorrow" that can result when things do go wrong.
