1 chapters across the catalog

The legal strategy in the Schara case focuses on a "battery claim" due to the total lack of informed consent regarding Grace's treatment and DNR status. Scott Schara explains that Wisconsin regulatory agencies have claimed state DNR statutes do not apply to doctors in non-emergency hospital settings, effectively giving them a "license to kill." The defense is reportedly attempting to reclassify the case as simple medical malpractice to trigger statutory damage limits.
