Indigents, Hospital Admissions And Equal Protection, Charles S. Derousie
Indigents, Hospital Admissions And Equal Protection, Charles S. Derousie
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The author surveyed ten hospitals in each of ten states, including hospitals of varying sizes and classifications. Five of the forty-five replies indicated the hospital did not admit all indigents in need of medical care. The primary reason given was that prospective patients not covered by hospital insurance or government programs such as Medicaid or Medicare were usually unable to produce a required preadmission deposit. This practice of requiring a preadmission deposit seems to be common.
Police Initiated Emergency Psychiatric Detention In Michigan, Mark F. Mehlman
Police Initiated Emergency Psychiatric Detention In Michigan, Mark F. Mehlman
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
While performing his duties a police officer may frequently be confronted with the behavior of an individual which threatens or has resulted in self-inflicted injury, or which poses an imminent threat to the safety of others. Under such circumstances an officer may determine that criminal arrest is inappropriate but that some form of restraint is necessary. Michigan has provided an alternative course of action by authorizing temporary emergency psychiatric detention of an individual whom a police officer deems to be "mentally ill and manifesting homicidal or other dangerous tendencies."
Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson
Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson
University of Richmond Law Review
The 1972 session of the General Assembly was especially active in the areas of wills, trusts, and estates. Much of this legislation deals with fine points not affecting the average lawyer in his practice. However, the following items of legislation should be of general interest to the attorney whose practice involves probate work or estate planning, even though he does not hold himself out as a specialist in these areas.
Malicious Prosecution Suits As Counterbalance To Medical Malpractice Suits, Allen P. Adler
Malicious Prosecution Suits As Counterbalance To Medical Malpractice Suits, Allen P. Adler
Cleveland State Law Review
A few years ago medical malpractice suits were something of a rarity in the United States. They now appear to be a major national problem. The magnitude of this ever increasing problem can be illustrated by the fact that a Senate subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, has investigated the increase in malpractice litigation and that President Nixon has ordered the establishment of a Commission on Medical Malpractice, under the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, to research the problem and report a possible solution by March 1, 1972.

Rehabilitation Of Drug-Dependent Persons, Paul A. Lichtman
Cleveland State Law Review
In today's fast-paced society, we are the witnesses of a very unusual phenomenon. People are consuming drugs at a rate never before realized. Stimulant drugs are being taken to keep the individual going during the day. Depressant drugs are being ingested to help the individual bury his anxieties. Drugs have been developed for practically every form of illness, whether organic or psychological. The majority of people who do use the various kinds of legend drugs do so legally, under a physician's supervision. There is am growing minority, however, who abuse drugs to the extent that these individuals become what is …

Aged Or Disabled Physicians, Peter P. Zawaly Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
This article will not concern itself, per se, with the recently much written about subject of medical professional liability. "The concept of professional liability should never be equated with the concept of incompetence", for the former is a malperformance at a given time, whereas the latter is the lack of ability to perform at all. Those illnesses, whereby a physician is rendered incompetent, that will be treated in the following text with particular attention, are senility, drug addiction, and alcoholism. Once establishing the scope of the problem, a brief examination of the disciplinary measures available within the profession and their …
Contributory Negligence In Medical Malpractice, Diane Shelby
Contributory Negligence In Medical Malpractice, Diane Shelby
Cleveland State Law Review
The best and most complete defense to a charge of malpractice is the allegation and proof of the absence of negligence. It is also the most often used defense. Of the less popular defenses, contributory negligence on the part of the patient is probably the least attractive and the most difficult to maintain, even though it has been held to be a complete bar to recovery in several cases difficult to categorize.

Medical Remedies And Human Rights: Why Civil Rights Lawyers Must Become Involved In Medical Decision-Making, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
As recently as the turn of the century a random patient meeting a random physician had less than a 50:50 chance of benefiting from the encounter. Physicians were just beginning to emerge from the era when they were essentially tradesmen, often with little more to offer their patients than comfort and company during illness and death. The principal causes of mortality were the infectious diseases against which the medical community stood impotent. There were few medical schools, few diagnostic tests, no specific treatment of disease, and no specialization of physicians. In the words of former AMA president Dwight L. Wilbur, …
Hospital Liability: Implications Of Recent Physician's Assistant Statutes, Daniel W. Coyne
Hospital Liability: Implications Of Recent Physician's Assistant Statutes, Daniel W. Coyne
Cleveland State Law Review
New methods must be devised to increase the efficient use of the available supply of physicians. "Among the innovations being tried with physicians is the development of new disciplines involving assistants to physicians." Increasing utilization of returning medics from the armed forces is being undertaken to help relieve the civilian manpower shortage. The legal implications of these developments range from problems of licensure to considerations of vicarious liability for an assistant's negligence (malpractice) or for the negligence of the assistant's supervising physician. It is with a species of this latter problem that this paper will be concerned. But one ought …

Alternatives To Civil Commitment Of The Mentally Ill: Practical Guides And Constitutional Imperatives, David L. Chambers

In 1930, Ford sold Fords only in black and states offered treatment for mental illness only in public mental hospitals. Today, new views of mental health care and mental health problems have begotten a galaxy of new treatment settings. Few cities can boast community-based programs sufficient to meet their needs, but almost all cities of any size rely increasingly on outpatient programs. The large public mental hospitals still stand, of course. Indeed, every year more people enter public hospitals than entered the year before. Over 400,000 Americans were admitted as inpatients to state and county mental hospitals last year.1 Partly …
