Definitions

Use of Professional Judgment
Science is an ever-changing  frontier. As new research and clinical trials broaden our knowledge, changes in treatment and drug therapy are required. The editors of GUWU have consulted sources believed to be reliable in their efforts to provide information that conform to the standards of professional practice that prevailed at the time of publication. However, in view of the possibility of human error by the authors, editors, or publisher, nor any party who has been involved in the preparation of the Licensed Materials are not responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results obtained from use of such information. Because of the uniqueness of each patient and the need to take into account a number of concurrent considerations, the information contained in the Licensed Materials should be used only as a general guide when caring for patients. Use your professional judgment.

This Agreement may be modified only in writing authorized by GUWU. GUWU’s waiver of any right shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right in the future.
