Lori, the local doctor of your rural town, shows you the following line from her medical malpractice insurance: “The policy excludes coverage for the treatment of patients with the experimental drug.” Lori treated a patient using a standard method, but that patient happened to be taking an experimental drug for a different condition as proscribed by a different doctor. The company is refusing to cover a complication. They argue the phrase “with the experimental drug” describes the patients (anyone currently on that drug is excluded from coverage).
