is not confidentiality of patient and doctor of any concern? it said other parties, does that include the person that he hit? technically that is a third party. are going to need a log everytime we tell them the side effects we need a signature? are we going to need another one at the pharmicists who give the patient the prescription once filled (that be like a bartender serving the item). what happened to personal responsibility? or are we looking at getting money from someone else because the original person is unable to give you anything? where and when will it end? will these lawsuits some and think about who's responsible? i think this will drive more lawyers into being money hungry slobs. they are not for the victim and the correct responsible party but only the money they can collect even if they lose.
