G.Moore: Litigation risks???? Trust me, both as a surgical intensivist caring for the critically ill and injured, and as a so-called expert witness, litigation risk exists for everything we do in medicine. Most litigation is unwarranted, some appropriate. Fortunately, and speaking generally, litigation risk hasn't yet mitigated the advancement of science at the bedside and for the patient here in the USA. Besides, proper informed consent of the risks and hazards by the patient should block most risk. After all, it is elective surgery sought by the patient. Most of us who care for the sickest patients in an intensive care unit, assume the greatest risks, and can do the greatest good (or bad), figure litigation "goes with the territory". If we worried excessively about litigation, or didn't do our job, we'd still be stuck in the 1970s. stan
