	AAOS On-Line Service Medical and Surgical Procedure Patents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		A "pure" medical or surgical procedure is a medical diagnostic procedure or treatment, or a method or process, where the "invention" is independent of the use of a medical device and drug.
		In addition, the enforcement of Medical Procedure Patents is a strong disincentive for physicians to share the results of their professional experiences and/or independent discoveries of similar existing methods with their colleagues, since this sharing may identify themselves for a potential target for infringement suits.
		It is possible for the medical community to reach an untenable situation, where all medical schools, and all medical and surgical societies or other entities providing medical education would be prohibited from teaching certain procedures or would have to pay a licensing fee to the inventor before teaching a course that includes the patented method.

	Medical Malpractice Attorneys - Dallas, Texas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Most medical malpractice claims are established by a patient's medical records; therefore, it is important to hire an attorney experienced in reviewing and understanding medical records to pursue your claim.
		Consent is also usually implied for necessary procedures a surgeon might perform in the course of a surgical procedure to which the patient did consent.
		For example, although listening to a heartbeat through a stethoscope may be considered a "treatment" or "procedure," to some people (especially those who are uncomfortable in physician's offices), it's rare that a physician and patient would have a lengthy discussion about the benefits and risks of listening to a heartbeat using that device.

	Physicians Freed from Threat of New Medical Procedure Patent Lawsuits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Medical procedure patents confer ownership over medical procedures such as surgical incisions or other treatments not associated with a novel drug or device.
		Since medical breakthroughs traditionally result from a long series of incremental advances, rather than expensive clinical trials, it is unreasonable to claim "ownership" of a procedure and prevent the free use of such methods.
		Medical procedure patents not only violate the Hippocratic obligation that physicians be teachers and freely share their medical knowledge, they also pose a threat to patients since patent holders can restrict the licensure of medical procedures that would otherwise be widely available.

		A: Medical malpractice is negligence committed by a professional health care provider, such as a doctor, nurse, dentist, technician, hospital or hospital worker, whose treatment of a patient departs from a standard of care met by those with similar training and experience, resulting in harm to a patient or patients.

	Medical “Benefits”
		American Academy of Pediatrics, 1999: “...the benefits are not significant enough for the AAP to recommend circumcision as a routine procedure.” The AAP statement is significantly flawed due to selective suppression and misinterpretation of studies on risks of circumcision, as well as failure to consider ethical issues and AAP's own guidelines on consent.
		Non-religious “medical” circumcision was begun in Victorian times to prevent masturbation or to cure or prevent a long list of maladies including paralysis, lunacy, epilepsy, curvature of the spine, fever, whooping cough, tubercular meningitis, weight loss, and syphilis.
		The very fact that discussions of this procedure quickly become heated debates also is a hint that this is not an ordinary medical procedure.
