Pharmaceutcial: Why They're So Important in the Med Mal Arena

Hospitals, clinics, and individual medical practitioners are always vulnerable to suit for malpractice, but their actions alone are not necessarily the cause of patients' problems, either real or perceived. In order to provide health care services, the practitioner will generally need to employ diagnostic equipment, prescribe medications, use surgical equipment or implant medical devices. The products drug and device companies put out are so integral to the medical provider's practice that it's often difficult to determine where the practitioner's services end and the effects of these products begins.
