The problem is not so much physician ignorance as a failure of informed consent in the physician-attorney relationship. Many questionable medical business practices are the consequence of joint ventures and other business arrangements that were structured by attorneys. Most of these business deals were not clearly illegal at the time they were established. They were, however, clearly questionable, and some have subsequently been declared illegal. Yet few physicians were apprised of the risks of these deals. They relied on their attorneys' expert judgment, just as patients must rely on their physicians' expert judgment when consenting to medical care.
