The Pathologist And The Autopsy, Lawrence J. Mccormack
The Pathologist And The Autopsy, Lawrence J. Mccormack
Cleveland State Law Review
The autopsy, properly performed, remains one of the keystones of modern medicine. However, obtaining the legally required consent or authorization for a medical autopsy can be a complex, almost impossible task. Simplification of the legal requirements for consent throughout the United States would be a definite step forward for medicine, and would benefit society generally.
Whiplash Injuries Of The Neck, Kenneth H. Abbott
Whiplash Injuries Of The Neck, Kenneth H. Abbott
Cleveland State Law Review
The nomenclature, mechanics, pathology and symptomatology of the minor injuries to the neck incurred in the socalled whiplash injury are reviewed. The common mechanism of this injury is shown to be hyperextension with recoil into hyperflexion, causing a sprain, of the soft tissues of the neck. In the more seriously injured, there may occur tearing and even avulsion of capsular and ligamentous structures of the neck. With injury to nerves and blood vessels, associated head and lower back injuries may also occur. Less commonly bony fractures of the neck vertebrae may be found. Attention is given to the delayed symptoms …
Physician's View Of Whiplash Injuries Of The Neck, Paul A. Nelson
Physician's View Of Whiplash Injuries Of The Neck, Paul A. Nelson
Cleveland State Law Review
Whiplash injuries of the neck as the result of automobile accidents have attracted increased attention in recent years from both the medical and legal professions. The incidence of such injuries has risen steadily, paralleling the increase in the number of automobiles and in the number of accidents on our highways. Unfortunately, effective safety measures or changes in automobile design that might prevent or minimize these injuries have not yet been introduced. Because most whiplash injuries involve compensation and many entail litigation, the correct management of such cases both medically and legally is of considerable economic importance.
Radiographic Aspects Of Whiplash Injury Of The Cervical Spine, Robert R. Wise
Radiographic Aspects Of Whiplash Injury Of The Cervical Spine, Robert R. Wise
Cleveland State Law Review
While the mechanism of sudden forceful flexion or extension of the neck producing injuries to the ligaments bones, and nerves of the neck has long been known, the term "whiplash injury" appears not to have been used in the medical literature until 1945 when it was first used by Davis. In his paper he analyzed 134 injuries of the cervical spine resulting from automobile accidents. Since then the term has been used to designate injuries to the neck or cervical spine which result from sudden forward or backward motion of the head, excluding the obviously catastrophic injuries resulting in complete …

Constitutional Law - Freedom Of Religion - Fluoridation Of City Water, John M. Webb S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In its proprietary capacity the City of Bend maintains and operates a water system with the exclusive right to supply water to its inhabitants. In February 1952 the mayor and city commissioners adopted an ordinance providing for the introduction of fluorine into the water supply to reduce dental caries in the teeth of young children. The plaintiff as a resident and taxpayer brought suit to enjoin such action. A demurrer to his complaint was sustained. On appeal, held, affirmed. A city, in the exercise of its police power, may enact reasonable regulations for the protection of the public health, …

Evidence - Physician - Patient Privilege - Applicability To Communication Between State Mental Hospital Psychiatrist And Criminal Internee, Norman A. Zilber S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Defendant was committed to a public mental hospital before standing trial on an indictment for robbery. One year later he was brought to trial after being discharged from the hospital as mentally competent. His only defense was insanity. The psychiatrist who had been appointed by the court to examine the defendant testified in support of this defense. The prosecution, in turn, introduced the testimony of the hospital psychiatrist who had attended the defendant during his internment. This psychiatrist was instructed by the trial court that communications between him and the defendant were not privileged. Accordingly, he testified that the defendant …
Hospitalization Of The Voluntary Mental Patient, Hugh A. Ross
Hospitalization Of The Voluntary Mental Patient, Hugh A. Ross
Michigan Law Review
In 1949, the last year for which accurate statistics are available, 390,567 persons were admitted to mental hospitals in the United States. Total annual cost of mental illness, including loss of earnings, has been estimated to be over a billion dollars a year. Although the problems involved in admission of the mentally ill patient to a hospital are usually thought of in terms of formal involuntary commitment proceedings, there is an increasing awareness of the desirability of provision for voluntary procedures which would encourage prompt and effective medical care. Voluntary admission is not a form of commitment, although it may …
Evidence - Statutory Rape - Right Of Accused To Compulsory Blood Test Of Prosecutrix And Child, Edward Pastucha S.Ed.
Evidence - Statutory Rape - Right Of Accused To Compulsory Blood Test Of Prosecutrix And Child, Edward Pastucha S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Defendant was convicted of statutory rape on the strength of complaining witness' uncorroborated testimony. Testimony of the prosecutrix was to the effect that she had had sexual relations with defendant only once, that she had become pregnant and had given birth to a child prior to the trial, and that she had had sexual relations with no other men. Defendant moved for an order requiring that blood tests be taken of the child and the mother. The motion was denied. On appeal, held, affirmed. Assuming power, absent statute, to compel the taking of blood-grouping tests, the trial court did …

Negligence-Duty Of Care-Liability Of State Mental Hospital For Acts Of A Dangerous Patient After Improper Discharge, Edgar A. Strause S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
One Jones, a mental incompetent, was erroneously released as "recovered" from a state hospital for the criminal insane, after having been transferred there because of his dangerous behavior at a state penal institution. Jones' frequent assaultive behavior at the hospital was not reported in his case history upon which the determination of his recovery was partially based, nor was any inquiry made into the motivation for such conduct. Crowded conditions and an inadequate psychiatric staff were responsible for the improper diagnosis of the patient's condition and his ultimate discharge. Four days after his release he killed four persons. The administratrix …

Negligence-Immunity Of Charitable Institutions From Suit, W. Garrett Flickinger S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A patient of defendant charitable hospital died as a result of the transfusion of an incorrect blood type and it was shown that one of defendant's employees had correctly typed the blood but negligently mislabeled it. The widower and children of the deceased brought an action in negligence for damages and the circuit court allowed recovery. On appeal, held, affirmed. The defendant hospital is liable in damages for the death of the deceased caused by the negligence of its employee notwithstanding the fact that defendant is a charitable institution and that the hospital authorities exercised due care and caution …
Negligence-Right To Recover For Pre-Natal Injurie, James S. Taylor S.Ed.
Negligence-Right To Recover For Pre-Natal Injurie, James S. Taylor S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff-infant by his guardian ad litem brought an action against the defendant alleging that while he was en ventre sa mere during the ninth month of his mother's pregnancy, he sustained, through the defendant's negligence, such serious injuries that he was born permanently maimed and disabled. The trial court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a cause of action. The appellate division affirmed. On appeal, held, reversed, two judges dissenting. A complaint alleging pre-natal injuries tortiously inflicted on a nine month foetus viable at the time and actually born later states a good cause of action. Woods …

Tort Actions For Injuries To Unborn Infants, William T. Gamble
Tort Actions For Injuries To Unborn Infants, William T. Gamble
Vanderbilt Law Review
Recently two American courts have recognized a right of infants to recover for prenatal injuries. In so meeting the challenge of the common law that "for every wrong there is a remedy" they have taken a step which no other court of final jurisdiction has taken on the strength of the common law alone...
That an infant "en ventre sa mere" is a distinct entity is a scientific, common sense, legally recognized fact. That this entity may suffer prenatal injuries and carry those injuries into postnatal life is well known. That in many cases adequate proof of causal relation could …
The Standard Of Care Owed By A Hospital To Its Patients, William J. Harbison
The Standard Of Care Owed By A Hospital To Its Patients, William J. Harbison
Vanderbilt Law Review
Despite the: great number of tort cases which have arisen between hospitals and their patients, comparatively little has been written upon the subject of the standard of care required of a hospital in its relationship with those who enter it for treatment. In this Note some of the types of problems arising out of this relationship will be examined.' Questions of substantive and procedural law will be treated together in order to present these problems more clearly.
Generally, public hospitals are excused from tort liability to their patients upon the ground of governmental immunity ; in most states charitable institutions …
Physicians And Surgeons-Status Of Osteopaths-Limitations On Practice, Daniel W. Reddin, Iii S.Ed.
Physicians And Surgeons-Status Of Osteopaths-Limitations On Practice, Daniel W. Reddin, Iii S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Until recently, the osteopath has generally been given a limited license. The present status of the osteopath is best understood by a comparison with that of the unlimited practitioner. Though most of the statutes have been examined, this comment is based primarily upon those of Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, California, Massachusetts and Indiana, which are fairly typical of the rest. These statutes vary widely in their provisions, but for the purposes of discussion, they have been treated in three arbitrary categories: (1) statutes in which the scope of the osteopath's license is considerably narrower than that of the …
Corporations-Right To Practice Optometry Through Licensed Employees, A. E. Anderson S.Ed.
Corporations-Right To Practice Optometry Through Licensed Employees, A. E. Anderson S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Defendant, an Oregon corporation engaged in a general optical business, employed in each of its stores a registered optometrist as manager. The optometrists were paid a flat salary and made examinations free of charge, whether eyeglasses were later purchased from defendant or not. The state commenced a proceeding to oust defendant of its corporate franchise on the ground that it was unlawfully engaged in the practice of optometry. The trial court dismissed the proceedings. On appeal, held, reversed. Because of the confidential relationship which exists between practitioner and patient, optometry must be classed as a profession, and it is …
Insurance-Death Of Insured Resulting From Criminal Abortion- Right Of Beneficiary, R. V. Wellman
Insurance-Death Of Insured Resulting From Criminal Abortion- Right Of Beneficiary, R. V. Wellman
Michigan Law Review
Insured died as the result of a criminal abortion to which she had voluntarily submitted. The policies issued on her life contained a provision to the effect that no benefits should be payable or recoverable should the insured die as a result of a violation of law. The insurer resisted the action brought by the named beneficiary on the policy on two grounds: (a) The insured's death was caused by her violation of law; (b) Although the stated terms of the policy be held not to exclude the risk of death thus caused, it would be contrary to public policy …

Michigan Law Review
Defendant issued a membership certificate to one Flowers providing for payment of $5000 in case of accidental death or $500 in case of death due to heart disease. Later Flowers was injured in an automobile accident and died an hour afterward. The beneficiary submitted proofs of loss, including a statement of a physician that death was caused by "coronary thrombosis. Shock from auto accident about one hour before death." Defendant sent to the beneficiary a draft for $500 clearly stating on its face that the endorsement of the check would be a settlement in full. After cashing the check, the …

Evidence -Witnesses - Privileged Communications Between Physician And Patient--Statutory Effect Of Asserting Privilege In Actions On Insurance Contracts, William H. Buchanan S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, beneficiary of an insurance policy (but not the personal representative of the deceased insured), sued to recover the amount of the policy from the insurance company. As a defense the defendant claimed that the policy never became effective because the insured had made material misrepresentations in the application as to his state of health. To show that there had been such misrepresentations, the defendant proved that the insured had been treated by physicians during the five years preceding the issuance of the policy. Upon objectionμ by plaintiff the court excluded the testimony of the doctors as to the nature …
Simulation Of Nervous And Mental Disease, Moses Keschner
Simulation Of Nervous And Mental Disease, Moses Keschner
Michigan Law Review
Simulation may be defined as a wilful, deliberate and fraudulent imitation or exaggeration of illness intended to deceive the observer for the purpose of gaining a consciously desired end. Simulation of a physical or mental illness is usually resorted to: (1) by persons who have sustained an injury, the disability resulting therefrom being compensable by benefits payable under the workmen's compensation law or by damages in personal injury actions based on alleged negligence; (2) by persons who wish to obtain insurance benefits for disability in accordance with the provisions of health, accident and life insurance policies, and included in this …
Legal Control Of Medical Practice: Validity And Methods, Kenneth C. Sears
Legal Control Of Medical Practice: Validity And Methods, Kenneth C. Sears
Michigan Law Review
Legislators have deemed it necessary, in order to protect the public interest, to exercise some control over the practice of the healing art by physicians, surgeons, chiropractors, osteopaths, dentists, etc., both as to who may practice and in what manner the practice may be carried on. Legislators have also required, in certain situations, that designated persons submit to medical treatment. Both types of regulation give rise to various legal and constitutional problems and it is the purpose of this paper to discuss some of these problems.
