Defense Against Res Ipsa In Medical Malpractice, Howard M. Rossen
Defense Against Res Ipsa In Medical Malpractice, Howard M. Rossen
Cleveland State Law Review
In a res ipsa loquitur case the injured party is deemed in no position to explain the cause, while the party charged may begin a position to show himself free from negligence. If the plaintiff has equal or superior means of information, the doctrine does not apply. The question is really one of duty on the part of the defendant.

Blunt Injuries Of The Abdomen, Chester C. Guy
Cleveland State Law Review
Management of closed abdominal injuries, produced by blunt violence, is one of the most challenging problems that the surgeon has to meet. It is usually made difficult by presence of associated injuries of the head, chest, or extremities, and the obvious severity of these may largely or completely mask the early evidences of abdominal visceral injury. It should be emphasized that, in general, injuries of the head and chest take precedence over those of the abdomen, and it is in the "multipleinjury" cases that intra-abdominal injuries are most frequently overlooked or undertreated. Blows to the abdomen received in sports or …
