Medical Law and Ethics by Jonathan Herring is remarkable reading and it is my first reading about English law and ethics. It was a page-turner for me. Despite the slow start, finishing this book was a pleasure. It was a surprise to me, that I liked and enjoyed reading it so vastly. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to know about English, Medical Law, and Ethics in real life, facts that are renewed accordingly. Also, if you are a dyslectic you may enjoy it because it is written in an official tone and I found myself thinking it was an easy read. I found it different than when I read it and I can say it is different from literature.

Read for school. Herring is pretty solid.
