الكتاب في محتواه جيد وممتاز لكنه ممل لأنه عملي ومخصص للدراسة فقط ليس للإطلاع والقراءة الحرة.
لكنه تطرق لقضايا كثيرة حساسة وهامة ويسقطها على قانون الصحة الأمريكي ويناقشها كالموت الرحيم زراعة الأعضاء والإجهاض وخلافه
لم أستمتع بالكتاب كثيرًا

كتاب ممتاز، ترجمة متقنة، تحرير سيء خاصة في عنونة بعض الفقرات وتنسيق الجداول.
تمنيت لو أضيفت تعليقات في الحواشي عن القانون المصري أو التناول الشرعي للمسائل.

رجاء شخصي من القائمين على المركز القومي للترجمة اعتماد الخط الأميري أو الخط المستخدم في طباعة هذا الكتاب بدلا من خط Arial البشع المستخدم في معظم مطبوعاتهم.

Not bad for a textbook. Did it's job, taught me what I needed for my test. Helpful notations and scenarios. Accessable and understandable. Pretty good
