Dr. Terry Anderson received his medical training at Oxford University and the Royal London Hospital. He was a family doctor in Ontario for six years, then completed a PhD in epidemiology and physiology at the University of Toronto. He spent the following years reaching medical students and doing research in the epidemiology of heart disease and cancer. During this time he maintained his links to clinical medicine by working a weekly shift in the busy Emergency Room of the Toronto East General Hospital. In 1979 Dr. Anderson was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada for his contributions to epidemiology, and in 1980 he became head of the department of Health Care and Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, UBC.<\/p>\n

During his career Dr. Anderson has been a consultant in epidemiology on a variety of projects, but in recent years he has restricted his consulting work to life expectancy in the medicolegal context. Dr. Anderson has published over 100 articles, and has been accepted into the Supreme Court of BC as an expert witness in the estimation of life expectancy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Life expectancy is an important issue in cases of serious personal injury. This book explains how to calculate life expectancy, and how to avoid common mistakes and misunderstandings. Basic concepts are illustrated with data from studies involving a wide range of conditions, including alcoholism, cerebral palsy, colon cancer, diabetes, and spinal cord injury (tetraplegia). There are also case studies of three of the major topics in life expectancy; cerebral palsy; traumatic brain injury; and tetraplegia.<\/p>\n

Reviews \/ Testimonials:<\/h3>\n

A valuable resource for those actuaries and economists who are involved in future loss calculations.
\n-Ian Karp, FSA, FCIA, Consulting Actuary<\/p>\n

The estimation of life expectancy is perhaps the most difficult task the Courts face in cases of serious personal injury. Dr. Anderson’s book will be of invaluable assistance both to the doctors who are asked to make such estimates and to the lawyers who must understand how they have been-or should have been-arrived at.
\n\u2014Nathan Smith, LLB, QC<\/p>\n

I am impressed with the presentation of what is clearly a complicated subject in relatively bite size pieces.
\n\u2014Faith Hayman, BEd, LLB<\/p>\n

A void in the bookshelves of clinicians and statisticians who are interested in predictions of life expectancy has just been filled. Life Expectancy in Court brings a strong blend of clinical and statistical
\nthought to the medicolegal estimate of life expectancy. A must have investment.
\n\u2014Richard Mathias, MD, FRCPC<\/p>\n

This book will be of interest in clinical epidemiology and medical decision analysis as well as in the medico-legal environment.
\n\u2014Stephen Marion, MD, FRCPC<\/p>\n

The calculation of life expectancy is a complex task. Dr. Anderson has done an excellent job of simplifying the methodology into manageable
\ncomponents.
\n\u2014Janet Schechter, MD, FRCPC<\/p>\n
