Abstract

We consider the validity and accuracy of information in medical science as it relates to legal liability. We argue that fundamental changes have occurred concerning knowledge dissemination to doctors (and patients) that have profound implications for the ethical and legal responsibility for accuracy. Such considerations are important for legal professionals at all stages of legal processes and tribunal proceedings.
