GenoMed Seeks to Avoid Physicians' Malpractice Exposure over West Nile Virus
Said Dr. David W. Moskowitz, GenoMed's Chairman and CEO, "We recently published an article describing a simple, safe, effective treatment for West Nile virus encephalitis in a peer-reviewed medical journal. Since there are 70,000 medical journals, I know how hard it is to keep up with the literature. It's especially hard when an article isn't highlighted by the media or the public health authorities who mention West Nile virus every day, it seems. But family members of WNV victims have every right to expect physicians to know the medical literature. It's a professional obligation we take on ourselves."
Dr. Moskowitz says in his emails to the State Medical Societies, "Any help in making your members aware of our article would be most appreciated. Whether they choose to use our method is, of course, their decision, and why they have been granted a medical license to use their best judgment. But I think you'll agree that from the medico-legal point of view they should at least be aware of our article."
Dr. Moskowitz added, "I'm disappointed that the public health establishment hasn't done its job, at least in terms of how it went about eradicating polio in the 1950's. Public health authorities nowadays say with pride that they are forbidden from endorsing any particular clinical treatment or trial. This was certainly not their forbears' attitude in the 1950s." Dr. Moskowitz concluded, "But public health figures have sovereign immunity, and can't be sued. Not so the poor physician. Inaction by the public health establishment doesn't absolve the individual physician from his/her responsibility to keep up with the literature. As often happens, the physician winds up holding the bag for systemic failures by others."
