Abstract
The physician testing a new drug has legal responsibilities to his test patients, the pharmaceutic company or other agency for whom he has agreed to do the research, and finally to the public to whom the drug is eventually to be released. The liability may be for tort or malpractice, breach of contract, assault and battery, invasion of privacy, or various criminal offenses. The usual medical malpractice policy will not cover the physician for all the possible legal repercussions. In some cases, the legal responsibility may be shifted, but in the final analysis, the physician's best insurance is his competence, integrity, and conscience.
