title: When dangerous employees cause harm.
abstract: What happens when you have a dangerous employee in your workplace? How can you tell? What can you do about it? What does the law require? If you manage to get rid of the dangerous employee, are you off the hook? These questions are defining the cutting edge of employment law as it is currently developing in the courts. And these developments have recently hit home--in a big way--in the healthcare arena. This article is devoted to fully understanding the nature of the problem, with the ultimate goal of developing a framework for resolving it.
