Who'd Want to be a Doctor in the US?

A man taking several prescription drugs passes out at the wheel, drives off the road and hits and kills a 10-year-old boy. Can the boy’s mother sue the doctor who prescribed the drugs?
Yes, Massachusetts’s Supreme Judicial Court ruled yesterday, the Boston Globe reports. The mother’s lawyers allege that the doc failed to warn his patient about the side effects of the medications and the potential danger of driving while taking them.
