Recent Developments In The Law Relating To The Physician's Assistant, Alfred M. Sadler, Jr., Blair L. Sadler
Recent Developments In The Law Relating To The Physician's Assistant, Alfred M. Sadler, Jr., Blair L. Sadler
Vanderbilt Law Review
The potential source of physician's assistants is enormous. In addition to the frequently cited Vietnam medic, many highly intelligent, motivated individuals could be attracted to these training programs. For example, in 1970, 24,987 people applied to medical schools although there was space for only 11,348. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, as many as one-half of the remaining 13,639 were "fully qualified" to become physicians, and many probably would be eager and able to deliver excellent primary health care as a physician's assistant if given the opportunity. Many of the 650,000 registered nurses "in retirement" might be induced …

Mental Illness And Criminal Commitment In Michigan, Grant H. Morris
Mental Illness And Criminal Commitment In Michigan, Grant H. Morris
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This article concentrates on one vital issue: to what extent are differences in treatment justified because of a mentally ill person's "criminal" involvement. While the article is primarily concerned with Michigan institutions and Michigan statutes, the discussion and the solutions proposed are in many respects applicable to all states of the Union. Not only must all states reevaluate their policies toward criminal commitment of the mentally ill in light of ever-changing medical and penal theory, but they must also consider the developing constitutional concepts in this area. These constitutional issues are raised here only to the extent necessary to alert …

Equal Protection For The Child In The Womb, Charles E. Rice

During 1971, the drive for liberalized abortion laws stalled after achieving rapid successes in the preceding four years. The law in most American states still allows abortion only where, it is necessary to save the life of the mother. Since 1967, however, sixteen states have relaxed their laws to provide that abortions may now be performed in varying situations where the life of the mother is not at stake. Some states, such as New York, allow abortions virtually on request. In other states, laws forbidding abortion have been declared unconstitutional by the courts. During 1971, no further liberalization was enacted …
Liability For Transfusions Of Hepatitis Infected Blood
Liability For Transfusions Of Hepatitis Infected Blood
University of Richmond Law Review
Legal resolution of the liability of a supplier of a useful and desirable product which, in the present state of human skill and knowledge, is unavoidably and necessarily dangerous to the user is fraught with difficulty. A major portion of the law in this area revolves around cases of hepatitis resulting from blood transfusions. The crucial problem encountered is the nondetectibility of the hepatitis virus in the blood donor. Even though no specific viral detection test has been perfected which can be applied practically to blood banking or plasma pooling, recent observations hold promise for a more accurate method of …

Impact Trauma As Legal Cause Of Cancer, Donald J. Ladanyi
Impact Trauma As Legal Cause Of Cancer, Donald J. Ladanyi
Cleveland State Law Review
Consider the following hypothetical situation: A voluptuous blonde is window shopping along New York's fashionable Fifth Avenue. Her trek brings her to a corner street intersection which she begins to cross. A recklessly driven automobile careens around the corner and strikes the defenseless blonde pedestrian amidships, causing her to be hurled against a utility pole. Her breast strikes the pole and absorbs the full effect of the impact. A local hospital determines that her injuries consist of only a black and blue bruise spot on her breast. The swelling, due to the injury, subsides and the discoloration disappears within a …

Malpractice Actions Without Expert Medical Testimony, William P. Gibbons
Malpractice Actions Without Expert Medical Testimony, William P. Gibbons
Cleveland State Law Review
Fear of malpractice actions against them is causing physicians to "run scared." Some physicians now say that they feel that the threat of legal action has materially altered the practice of medicine. Defensively, some medical doctors say that they are ordering additional X-rays and lab tests, just to have them on record. Others say they are just plain afraid to try new techniques and diagnostic treatments because of the specter of a malpractice action. Innovative techniques carry additional risks, and some doctors admit that in some risky situations they merely do what will keep them out of trouble rather than …
