Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTION PRESENTED For more than a decade, the civil standard of care established for the practice of medicine has been utilized by federal prosecutors in criminal prosecutions against physicians to create criminal liability resulting in mass incarceration of physicians. Is the civil definition of standard of care as opined by government hired experts sufficient to create criminal liability against physicians or should a civilized country . like the United States clearly spell out what is criminal while the doctor is at his office, in his white uniform, seeing patients in the ordinary course of business?
