Legal Term of the Week (TM)

Ok, so it's more like the legal term of the week-and-a-half or bi-week.  You got a problem?  Sue me.

Loss-of-chance doctrine -- A rule in some states providing a claim against a doctor who has engaged in malpractice that, although it does not result in a particular injury, decreases or eliminates the chance of surviving or recovering from the preexisting condition for which the doctor was consulted.

What happened when the "originator" was late and I stepped in to supply the legal term of the week?

Oh I remember

Alternate definition:

"What Prophet inevitably experiences whenever chatting up a young lady, only to order himself a DiSarrono on the rocks."

I represent that remark!
Let it be known that any loss experienced was because I wanted the "loss" to occur.
Quality not quantity!
