[PASSED]: Central Medicinal Database Compact

[Holy Tedalonia]

I was going to go with congratulations, but that's just me.

(I was also going to open a betting pool on how many days until it is repealed, but that seemed a little cynical and depressing. So instead milk-shakes for everyone who isn't sad!)

So that the people who suffer are not just sad, but milkshakeless? Double whammy, right there...

I think you are twisting my words, but whatever.

Lets say that one person uses the information to treat a patient. If there is a complication, the author may then be sued. There needs to be some type of protection.

With all due respect, I think you are over thinking this. Doctors right across Covenstone routinely share information via letters, email, on line forums and journals. Not once has the author of an article ever been sued because another doctor did something wrong. If a doctor makes a mistake, it is *their* mistake.

And why should there be some kind of protection? If the author has genuinely made a mistake then why should the author not be held responsible? And if the author hasn't made a mistake, then the legal process will reveal that.

Yes I do agree that doctors and scientists alike, share information constantly with little to no harm being done. I am concerned mostly about the doctors in the "Father Knows Best" nations (no offense) where people get unfair or absolutely no trials. Doctors can start pointing at one another for the sh*t they do.

Considering this passed, I am going to leave this alone. Anyways that's just my opinion.

So Strangers' Bar drinks are on Xerox Prime's ambassador's tab! Something good coming out of this...

While I accept you might not answer this, I do feel compelled to point out that, with or without this resolution, that is going to go on anyway. If someone isn't going to get a fair trial (which under WA law I am pretty sure is illegal) in a given nation, then repealing this won't ensure they get a fair trial for screwing up a procedure!
