Oktoberfest CT Scans, Patient Pre-Contracts to Limit Liability

In This Episode

Viktoria Bogner-Flatz, MD (Ludwig Maximilian University, Germany), discusses observations from use of a mobile CT scanner equipped with AT to detect head injuries at the 2022 Munich Oktoberfest. Using lessons from 2022, the mobile scanner is back right now for the 2023 event. Also, regular contributor Dr. MedLaw explores the concept of pre-contracting with patients to limit legal issues, on the heels of the OceanGate Titan submersible disaster which saw the media giving attention to long disclaimers that specifically listed death as a risk.
