Dr. Stephen R.T. Evans, Chairman of Surgery at Georgetown University Medical Center, asked Catherine D. Bertram to contribute a chapter on Legal Considerations for his groundbreaking surgical textbook entitled Surgical Pitfalls (1st Ed., 2009).  Ms. Bertram, a partner with Regan Zambri & Long, is one of only two contributing attorney authors.  This textbook offers surgeons in-depth guidance on the prevention and management of significant surgical complications.  Surgical Pitfalls is an excellent resource for surgeons to help minimize their patients' risk of complications in over 80 different surgeries.  The textbook also provides guidance on how to repair surgical errors when they occur.  Finally, this textbook also serves as a resource for medical malpractice attorneys with cases involving surgical complications.  (Please visit www.elsevierhealth.com for details on how to purchase this textbook.)
