Doctor prescribes medicines essential to the preservation of their patients' life and health, nearly always aren't present when the drugs is taken and can cut off treatment only at their patients' risk.If this sentence is copied verbatim from the editorial, someone failed in proofreading.

This is a moderate volume ping list, one or two per day at most, some days none. About no particular subject but always with a conservative view point.
If you want on this list let me know.
If you want off, you have to pay me.

This is exactly why I never try to get out of jury duty. Every time I go I pray for a case like this. They let me go the last three times in a row though without me saying a word.

Kinda screwed up isn't it?
But I get the drift.

Depending on the patient's overall condition and the cumulative ability of the drugs the doctor prescribed to cause drowsiness I can see this **unless** the doctor,at the very least,strongly advised the patient to be careful while driving...or...better still...if the doctor advised the patient not to drive at all.
But then,OTOH,the judges of the Massachusetts Supreme Court have consistently proven themselves in recent years to be the most worthless individuals on the face of God's green earth,so.....

third party malpractice liability. This opens an incredibly large door and will send malpractice premiums through the roof in Mass. It will also result in another layer of defensive medicine the scope of which will take several years to appreciate. The bottom line will be a massive increase in medical costs. Glad I don’t have to pay for med insurance in Mass., I get hammered enough here in Doctor friendly Indiana.

Dr. Roland Florio was treating David Sacca...decide whether a physician is liable for injuries suffered by someone he never saw.This is one of the most poorly written articles in the past week. The author seems to imply that Dr. Florio never saw the patient. Or is it that the patient wasn't seen by the doctor on the day he killed the little boy? Eeesh.

If you have a degree in the sciences, medicine,or engineering the plaintiffs in this type of suit do not want you on a jury. They do not want people with logical thinking processes.

I think the article is refering to the relationship between the doctor and the 10 year old that was hit.

Sacca passed out while driving...
Passed out, or fell asleep? Those are two different things -- especially important when the allegation is that he was made too drowsy by the medication.
To: NautiNurse
Dr. Florio never saw the little boy who was killed by his patient’s drowsiness. The little boy’s mother is suing the doctor.
Completely absurd, of course. If a doctor told me to take some Nyquil and told me to take a teaspoon at night, I could drink the whole bottle, crash my car, and then the person I killed could sue my doctor.
Nice, isn’t it? Kind of like sueing gun manufacturers for a guy who fires a gun straight up in the air in a crowded place and kills someone.
To: NautiNurse
No - the injured person - the 10 year old boy who was killed - was never seen by the doctor.

It’s funny, my law school torts class began with the statement that jurors are idiots. This at a pretty top-tier law institution that isn’t known for rolling out ambulance chasers.

I wish crime victims could sue the government for crimes committed against them by criminals released before the whole sentence was served.
