Gilliland v. Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp.green1 sentence2024Indeed, the very premise of the doctrine is that the physician will assist the patient in understanding material information conveyed by the warning “so that the patient can make an informed choice as to therapy.” (Rest.3d Torts, Products Liability, § 6, com. b, p. 146.) But as another court aptly observed, “no one disputes that it is up to the individual patient to decide whether to undergo a given treatment therapy” (Gilliland, supra, 34 F.Supp.3d at p. 972, fn. 21 ), and we therefore cannot presume that an objectively prudent person in the patient’s position will follow the physician’s trea | 1 | 1 |

1 sentence2024Indeed, a basic premise of his claim is that the trial court could have corrected the prosecutor’s alleged misstatement by “inform[ing] the jury that replacement cost is not fair market value.” To the extent Gippson argues the trial court committed instructional error based on its responses to the jury’s notes, we conclude that he also forfeited this aspect of the claim by failing to object below. “ ‘When the trial court responds to a question from a deliberating jury with a generally correct and pertinent statement of the law, a party who believes the court’s response should be modified or cl | 1 | 2024–2024 |
