Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the 1862 trial of Dr. Lodge, a physician who was charged with manslaughter for his administration of Gelseminum, a new drug that he experimented on to test its efficacy. Lodge's case, which ultimately resulted in his vindication, became a landmark in medical history, as it addressed crucial legal questions surrounding medical malpractice and the practice of drug testing. The author goes on to discuss the controversy surrounding drug testing that continues in present times, emphasizing the importance of striking a careful balance between scientific advancement and patient safety, issues that are as relevant and contentious today as they were 160 years ago. The book ends by asserting that Dr. Lodge's trial helped define the rights and responsibilities of medical practitioners, compelling the medical field to conduct drug testing in ways that prioritize patient well-being.
