- Title
Curbside Consults in Clinical Medicine: Empirical and Liability Challenges.
- Authors
Zacharias, Rachel L.; Feldman, Eric A.; Joffe, Steven; Lynch, Holly Fernandez
- Abstract
In most U.S. jurisdictions, clinicians providing informal "curbside" consults are protected from medical malpractice liability due to the absence of a doctor-patient relationship. A recent Minnesota Supreme Court case, Warren v. Dinter, offers the opportunity to reassess whether the majority rule is truly serving the best interests of patients.
