Actually not. The state could prosecute for "practice of medicine without a license" which is a criminal action. You could also be prosecuted for assault and battery (unwanted touching). It has been explained to me that these charges are actually relatively unlikely. For one that is qualified and permitted by law to NOT take action is actionable in civil court for neglect or negligence IF a physician-patient (NOT client) relationship exists....and it could exist if an MD would interact with the patient.<br><br>Any comments Billy Vann??<br><br>Jeffery S.
