Chris, Grandmother D tells me that during the first malpractice crisis, circa 1973, a lot of physicians dropped their malpractice insurance (went bare) and relied on the good samaritan laws. That said, I doubt that the GS laws would protect physicians who did their faxing from public places. But then, back in 1973, fax machines were not all that common, and neither were cell phones (although Gene Barry on "Burke's Law" had had one years before). Grandmother says that in 1973, electronic pagers and digital watches were cause for wonderment. - Holly
