Abstract:
The digital world has changed our lives in every way. Education-the days when teachers used chalk, dusters and blackboards are almost at an end. Black has turned to white, in the form of interactive whiteboards. The white chalk is now digital ink printed books - Over 92% of children in the United States carry backpacks that are typically loaded with heavy books that may set them up for spine strain rather than success. Now, those books are turning into e-books and audio books which thousands of them can be stored in a USB flash drive or cloud storage. They are versatile, searchable, portable and efficient, not to mention they are much easier on your back. Digital content has revolutionized the way people distribute and access information on virtually every platform. How medical Students Benefit from Learning with interactive e-books? What is the future for paper books and ebooks? The e-books market is growing!

Abstract:
Medical malpractice is defined as any act or omission by a physician during treatment of a patient that deviates from accepted norms of practice in the medical community and causes an injury to the patient. Forensic medicine today is a large medical field that includes many subareas including the investigation of medical malpractice. Autopsy, a surgical procedure performed on a recently deceased patient is the last and most complete diagnostic procedure. Carefully performed by a thoughtful, interested and experienced physician, it should reveal much of the truth about the health of the deceased patient and the mechanism of death. The medical malpractice is today a central item for the forensic pathology and the lethal medical malpractice is a specific subgroup of a wider phenomenon and a rising, central topic for the forensic pathologist. Forensic autopsies are a mandatory step in the judicial evaluation of the suspected medical malpractice. The forensic investigation on lethal medical malpractice cases must determine the cause of the patient’s death must analyze all the actions of the involved clinicians and must eventually state a causal relationship between the patient’s death and the identified malpractice. The great value of autopsies for verifying medical malpractice becomes evident by several studies. Based just on the autopsy findings the forensic pathologist is often able to rule out medical negligence.
