Doctor, Lawyer, And Hosptial Administrator: A New Triangle, Howard L. Oleck
Doctor, Lawyer, And Hosptial Administrator: A New Triangle, Howard L. Oleck
Cleveland State Law Review
Hospitals are deeply invovled in the great majority of medicolegal case problems. Yet surprisingly little attention has been given to the relation of the hospital to doctor lawyer-patient situations as a factor in itself. Most discussions of hospitals and law deal generally with hospital liability for negligence of hospital agents-as though the hospital were a monolithic entity in itself. Lawyers seldom look further into the relation of the doctor to the hospital administration and vice versa; deeming this to be a matter of small concern to them. Doctors, of course, know well the importance of hospital politics and procedures to …

Medicolegal Aspects Of Alcoholism, Naoma Lee Stewart
Cleveland State Law Review
Since the passage of three centuries has seen the explanation for excessive drinking progress from a vice to a disease, it is pertinent to have a brief study of the recent findings about alcoholism in order to compare these newer medical concepts with some of the legal principles on drunkenness which have been long and firmly established in the law.

Medical Aspects Of Chemical Tests For Intoxication, Philip Jones
Cleveland State Law Review
Three chemical tests are most frequently used. These are the estimation of the alcohol content of the (1) blood, (2) urine, and (3) breath. Each of these shows a reasonably accurate estimation of the degree of intoxication provided certain precautions are observed. Unfortunately, under some circumstances the results of these tests may be misleading and be invalid in evidence. In order to appreciate these limitations it is necessary to understand the physiology of the absorption and excretion of alcohol in the body.
Physician's Use Of Hospital Facilities: Right Or Privilege, Jewel Hammond Mack

Put otherwise, the issue is: Do doctors exist for the convenience of hospitals, or hospitals for the convenience of doctors? Should public interests or hospital management interests come first?The answers are obvious. The law as it is now is contrary to the public's interests.

Non-Profit Hospital Service Plans, Leo A. Simpson
Non-Profit Hospital Service Plans, Leo A. Simpson
Cleveland State Law Review
Hospital service plans fulfill a vital social need. In view of the continuing support and apparently expanding activities of the plans, it is well to understand their legal nature. At the present time problems are arising that could not have been foreseen 25 years ago. The favorable treatment which hospital service plans have received under the law should be continued so long as the plans continue realistically to meet these problems as they have in the past.
