Legal developments in healthcare.
Two recent judgments by the Supreme Court of Canada limit the liability of doctors and hospitals.

The other held that the manufacturer of a highly technical product is responsible for informing the ultimate consumer of its product's risks. It is a risk physicians may not be able to assume on the manufacturer's behalf.
