Abstract
A PREVIOUS column1 reported on the major findings of the Secretary's Commission on Medical Practice.2 The report, as noted in the first column, has been severely criticized by the American Medical Association's president, who was a member of the Commission. On the other hand, it has been much praised by consumer advocate, Ralph Nader. I was also a member, the only full-time medicolegal academic in the group. I suppose that my own views were somewhat more in the middle of the positions of the AMA and the Nader-tvpe consumer representatives on the Commission.Middle grounds can be dangerous, of course, . . .Keywords
