The way Jack went after that poor doctor was unconscionable. Yes, he gave the girl illegal drugs, but he was trying to cure her. He was not a murderer but a very sympathetic character. Every now & then Jack comes down hard on the wrong side, and this was one of them.

That doctor used the girl as an experiment for personal reasons, he should've been punished IMO.
I have disagreed with Jack too in certain episodes and thought he crossed the line but that wasn't one of them.

The girl was dying. His experimentation could have saved her life. I don't think his reasons were evil.

He wasn't out to save HER life, only his own, he used patients as guinea pigs hoping to save his own ass. And I have to side with the foster mother 'who didn't go to medical school' when the only quality of life an 8 year old has is when she's NOT on the doctor's Russian roulette cocktail, no, the doctor is NOT right. It's all good and well for the doctor or his lawyer, who aren't there and don't have to see it and live it every day, to stand by and say 'he's the doctor so it was working', tell us that when it's your OWN child who needs a cane to walk at 8 years old and is throwing up every night, tell us it works when it's your own you need to worry about.

I don't think you want to look too closely to history when it comes to experimentation on patients; been horrified by
"Tuskegee"
since I was a kid! That was our gov't; our people pushing the pencils! I seem to remember
"agent orange"
being released in NY subways to test it out before combat use in Viet-Nam! I can go down a long and horrific list of experimentation and the use of human guinea pigs with or without their knowledge or consent!

Yes, Jack certainly had a case of Ivory Tower Syndrome every now and then. That episode where he prosecuted the psychiatrist for using ECT was another instance.
