We explain when you can (and can't) sue for botched plastic surgery, what "informed consent" really means, and why a bad outcome doesn't always equal malpractice.And in one of the most disturbing stories we've covered: a lawsuit alleges that OpenAI's ChatGPT helped a teenager plan a mass shooting in Canada — and that employees wanted to warn police but leadership said no.Also this week: a candidate who legally changed his name to "Literally Anybody Else" to run for mayor, and the surprising differences between priest and attorney confidentiality.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Opening & California Electric Car Mandate3:15 - Can California Force National Vehicle Standards?8:45 - Department of Justice Lawsuit Analysis12:30 - Interstate Commerce Clause Explained18:20 - Historic Mud Flap Case & Civil Rights Parallels25:40 - Plastic Surgery Malpractice Reality Check32:15 - Mommy Makeover Tragedy & Legal Standards38:50 - When Bad Outcomes Don't Equal Malpractice45:20 - Personal Responsibility in Medical Care52:10 - "Literally Anybody Else" Election Case56:30 - OpenAI Mass Shooting Lawsuit62:45 - Priest vs. Attorney Confidentiality68:20 - Child Monitoring Case75:15 - Closing ThoughtsFREE CONSULTATION: If you or someone you know has been injured, reach out at gerberinjurylaw.com — we don't charge unless we win.Website: http://www.gerberinjurylaw.com
