HICRC New England Journal of Medicine Perspective on “Docs v Glocks” 

A NEJM Perspective on the case of Wollschlaeger v. Governor of Florida describes the issues at stake in the upcoming decision concerning a Florida law which regulates physician’ speech concerning patients’ gun ownership.  Basically, the full court can “jeopardize physicians’ ability to counsel patients about the importance of gun safety and potentially other important issues, or it can safeguard physicians’ ability to speak truthfully to patients, without compromising the state’s ability to regulate the practice of medicine.” The Perspective, which appeared online today, was written by lawyers Wendy Parmet and Jason Smith, and HICRC co-director Matthew Miller.
