摘要

根据德克萨斯州的法律，以志愿者身份治疗COVID-19患者的医生可能会因这种护理而引发诉讼。但对于在COVID战场上的非志愿者医生来说——他们通常在令人痛苦、超负荷的环境中工作，病人数量多，设备少——同样的责任盾牌并不存在。随着6月份COVID-19病例和住院治疗的重新抬头，德克萨斯州医学协会继续推动将责任保护扩大到所有一线医生，无论是否是志愿者。

Pandemic Poses Legal Pitfalls: TMA Seeks Better Liability Shields.

Under Texas law, physicians treating COVID-19 patients in a volunteer capacity have potential defenses against lawsuits that might arise from that care. But for non-volunteer physicians on the COVID battlefield - often working in harrowing, overloaded settings, high on patient count and low on equipment - the same liability shields don't exist. And with a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations taking hold in June, the Texas Medical Association continued its pandemic-long push to extend liability protections to all frontline physicians, volunteer or not.
