  • Title: The doctor/patient relationship and immunity from malpractice.
    Author: Spector RA.
    Journal: J La State Med Soc; 2001 Oct; 153(10):501-3. PubMed ID: 18350709.
    Abstract:
    The physician-patient relationship establishes a cause of action for malpractice should the physician breach his duty to the patient. Employer-contracted physical examinations create a professional relationship between physician and employee to the extent of the tests conducted. An Independent Medical Examination may create a professional relationship between the physician and subject of the Independent Medical Examination.
