Notes
"In 1767 an English court decided the earliest legal case that is now known that imposed liability for not obtaining consent to surgical treatment - Slater v. Baker and Stapleton. This was a malpractice case arising out of the treatment of a complex leg fracture."--Monograph #1, page 1 of 8.
The monographs explore the case described in 'Facts as they were' (Wellcome Collection MS. 1037) and the persons mentioned in it.
