How has strict liability been applied to the medical profession?

The court then examines two key cases in which strict liability has not been applied to the medical profession: "In Magrine v. Krasnica [ (1967) ] 94 N.J. Super. 228 [227 A.2d 539], affirmed 100 N.J.Super. 223 [241 A.2d 637], and 53 N.J. 259 [250 A.2d 129], the court declined to apply the doctrine of strict liability to a dentist whose drill, with a latent defect, broke while he was working on his patient, causing injury to the patient. The court stated, 'Of ... meaningful significance is a recognition that the essence of the transaction between the retail seller and the consumer relates to the article sold. The seller is in the business of supplying the product to the consumer. It is that, and that alone, for which he is paid. A dentist or a physician offers, and is paid for, his professional services and skill. That is the essence of the relationship between him and his patient.' (94 N.J.Super. at p. 235 [227 A.2d at p. 543].)
