What if another doctor takes my ‘advice’ and something bad happens to their patient? Am I indirectly a consultant, accessory or abettor?
No. OrthoMind is not a place where medical decision making is taking place. Users give their opinions, information or suggestions. No formal consulting or patient-physician relationships are established. As you know, the practice of Orthopaedic Surgery is an art and a science and OrthoMind is not a substitute for standard medical care. Persons accessing information through the OrthoMind assume full responsibility for the use of the information. Practicing Orthopaedic Surgeon users continue to be bound by the decisions of their own independent informed medical judgment.
