Practice Guidelines and Malpractice Litigation
Troyen A. Brennan, JD, MPH
1 October 1995 | Volume 123 Issue 7 | Page 556
IN RESPONSE:
Dr. Bartlett makes four points. The first three are adequately discussed in our article, to which the careful reader should refer. With regard to the fourth point, it was not our intent to chill physicians' interest in practice guidelines. Their role in medical care is still being assessed, as is suggested by the single peer-reviewed paper to which Dr. Bartlett refers.
