Aid For The Medically Indigent, Jacob Meerman, Millard Long
Aid For The Medically Indigent, Jacob Meerman, Millard Long
Vanderbilt Law Review
In the following paper we discuss the ability of low income groups to purchase needed care, consider the private alternatives to government action, find these deficient, and hence review various proposals made to the Congress. Finally, we examine a proposal which, while originally propounded in the early Fifties, has received little attention in the recent debates. To the authors, it would seem the best approach to care for the indigent.
Negligence-Res Lpsa Loquitur-Application To Medical Malpractice Actions: 1951-196, Peter D. Byrnes S.Ed.
Negligence-Res Lpsa Loquitur-Application To Medical Malpractice Actions: 1951-196, Peter D. Byrnes S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Res ipsa loquitur, "the thing speaks for itself," has been the subject matter of extensive legal literature since its inception almost a century ago. It is now well settled that res ipsa loquitur is no more than an inference of negligence from circumstantial evidence. The doctrine is applicable if an act or occurrence is of the type that ordinarily would not take place without negligence, assuming the plaintiff has himself been passive, and if the instrumentality causing the harm is within the exclusive control of the defendant. The application of res ipsa loquitur to the medical malpractice area has …
Legal, Medical And Psychiatric Considerations In The Control Of Prostitution, B. J. George Jr.
Legal, Medical And Psychiatric Considerations In The Control Of Prostitution, B. J. George Jr.
Michigan Law Review
In common with other nations of the world the United States today as in the past is faced with the problem of controlling prostitution, particularly in urban areas. At one time or another states and cities in the United States have experimented with the classic methods of controlling prostitution: reglementation, segregation and repression. Reglementation of individual houses or prostitutes has never been carried out on a statewide basis in any state in the United States, though one can find instances in certain large cities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in which city ordinances or de facto police regulations …
Psychological Assessment Of Brain Damage, Bill J. Barkley
Psychological Assessment Of Brain Damage, Bill J. Barkley
Cleveland State Law Review
We need more emphasis upon courses in Forensic Psychology in our law schools as well as in our graduate departments of psychology. The average clinical psychologist shies away from involving himself in cases that might eventually lead to testifying. The psychologist is not trained to answer with a "Yes" or a "No" and therefore is not accustomed to this procedure in the court room. In my estimation it is time that the clinical psychologist is helped to grow up legally, by having a better understanding of forensics, and it is time the legal profession is helped to grow up by …
Amnesia After Brain Injury, Ewing H. Crawfis
Amnesia After Brain Injury, Ewing H. Crawfis
Cleveland State Law Review
In discussing amnesia, it is first important to point out that it occurs as but one of a number of symptoms of brain injury. While we choose to single it out, we should keep in mind that it exists contemporaneously with, and in relation to, other symptoms.
Physiology Of The Brain And Related Trauma, Edward W. Shannon
Physiology Of The Brain And Related Trauma, Edward W. Shannon
Cleveland State Law Review
The scope of this paper will concern itself with the mechanism of various types of head trauma as well as the immediate and late sequelae of the resulting brain injuries. No attempt will be made to discuss therapy.
Damages For Potential Residuals Of Brain Injuries, Jerry B. Kraig, Henry A. Hentemann
Damages For Potential Residuals Of Brain Injuries, Jerry B. Kraig, Henry A. Hentemann
Cleveland State Law Review
The seriousness of damage to the head and resultant impairment of the body functions has been given proper cognizance as evidenced by substantial jury awards. Injury to the brain, however, may not only result in immediate damage to the body function but may result in damage that will be experienced at a remote future time.
Ownership Of X-Rays, Ronald J. Harpst
Ownership Of X-Rays, Ronald J. Harpst
Cleveland State Law Review
The question as to who has property rights in x-ray films has been the subject of controversy between physician, attorney, patient and hospital. Although there have been few cases dealing specifically with this problem, the issue often has been raised privately among physicians and in attorney-physician debates. The object of this article is to acquaint the attorney and physician with the main approaches to the problem of ownership of x-rays, and to supplement the various approaches with leading cases.
Electroencephalography (Eeg) In Head Injuries, Andre A. Weil
Electroencephalography (Eeg) In Head Injuries, Andre A. Weil
Cleveland State Law Review
Clinical electroencephalography has gained remarkably in popularity during the past twenty years. Correspondingly we find it with more frequency in medico-legal problems, particularly the ones pertaining to head injuries.
Medico-Legal Aspects Of The Electroencephalogram, Walter P. Mahle
Medico-Legal Aspects Of The Electroencephalogram, Walter P. Mahle
Cleveland State Law Review
Brain injuries are difficult to prove and the lawyer must use all demonstrative evidence available to him to make the jury aware of the injury to his client. The electroencephalogram, though it has only been used as a diagnostic tool and as demonstrative evidence for the last fifteen to twenty years, is becoming more important in this field. It is becoming a more exact science and, it is believed, will be used more widely in the future. There does not appear to be any great problem of admissibility where they are properly identified, performed by competent technicians, using adequate equipment, …
