That would make it more plausible. I don’t think you’re an idiot, I was asking because I was curious if there was precedent for a jackass conspiracy minded employee handing out medical advice causing liability for a business. I wouldn’t think it is right, but I also don’t agree with other legal standards, lol.
Thankfully there’s not: you’d expect someone at a pharmacy to provide reasonable medical advice, or your mechanic to tell you the right thing to do with your car. Once you walk outside the field where a reasonable person would reasonably expect what they’re being told to be uh, reasonable, then there’s usually no real case for liabilities.
Buuuuuut, in the US at least, this is entirely civil law, and that means the law is mostly whatever you can convince a jury of, so you can end up with some wacky shit happening.
I changed company names before posting and broke the clarity, sorry.
Imagine I wasn’t a idiot and had said Walmart pharmacy, which is somewhere you’d expect that kind of advice.
