> The second is that even if you get a heart attack or stroke due to their negligence they will never be liable because that calculator is considered the standard of care in malpractice law! I think you misunderstand how the risk calculator is used. Physicians are still expected to use their clinical judgement and information from patient conversation to determine the appropriate intervention. If a 30 year old patient comes in with high blood pressure, but no existing cardiovascular disease (so the calculator could be used except for the age), it would clearly be malpractice for the doctor to say "sorry! you're too young to use the calculator so I'm going to give you a stamp of approval for health!" |
