Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The Bolam test was the standard by which medical negligence cases were judged. However, recently, the Bolitho case has resulted in a shift away from Bolam, with significant effects for all future negligence suits. Doctors need to have a thorough understanding of these issues in order to practice successfully in the current litiginous climate. |
