"If you have any inkling to learn about nanorobots, nanotechnology, and how such tech will one day potentially come to influence and shape medicine and law, then this is the book to pick up." - Randy Katzman, B. Comm, CPA CA, CVLA.

In the world of medical care, statistical advantage is everything, with apt diagnoses offering each patient the chance to realize on a better outcome with respect to their survival or recovery. Accordingly, in applying nanotechnology's principles and tools, the emerging field of nanomedicine looks to bolster this statistical advantage, thereby revolutionizing medical care. Consequently, such benefits are largely predicted to be accomplished via nanobots- tiny robots that can diagnose, repair, and treat patients internally. Yet despite the predicted benefits of nanobots, several legal scholars have cited their concerns, with many asserting a new approach to liability will be needed to address the potential nanomedical arising harms. While several of these scholars have looked to approaches such as product liability and negligence, none have yet to consider the loss of chance doctrine, which offers proportional recovery to medical malpractice plaintiffs, where causal uncertainty renders proving causation too onerous.

-- Journey with me as we travel down the rabbit hole that is nano-medicine and the law, and explore how the loss of chance doctrine and the Walker Approach might be utilized by future lawyers.
