Doctors' Privileged Communications, Public Life, And History's Rights, Jonas B. Robitscher
Doctors' Privileged Communications, Public Life, And History's Rights, Jonas B. Robitscher
Cleveland State Law Review
This article deals with two special problems in the field of confidentiality and privilege, which can be discussed together although they are not entirely related. These problems arise from a physician-patient relationship and are special by virtue of the fact that the patient has made himself a special object of public attention or public concern. The first of these is the problem of the physician who wishes to disclose information about an historical personage. The second problem is the disclosure of information by a physician concerning patients who are infamous rather than famous.
The Hospital's New Responsibility, Arthur F. Southwick
The Hospital's New Responsibility, Arthur F. Southwick
Cleveland State Law Review
The focus for this discussion is the hospital as a corporate institution and its liability for injuries caused a patient or visitor. The fundamental question is: What legal duties does the hospital and its personnel owe the patient or the visitor? To attempt an answer to this question one must first have an understanding of the role and nature of a hospital in modern society.
Res Ipsa Loquitur In Medical Malpractice, Rudolf F. Binder
Res Ipsa Loquitur In Medical Malpractice, Rudolf F. Binder
Cleveland State Law Review
The "Cloak of Protection encompassing the physician in the practice of his profession" is no longer to be taken for granted. Recent decisions in Alaska, California, Louisiana, Oregon, and Wisconsin have swept aside the traditional limitations in the use of the res ipsa loquitur doctrine. They impose all but strict liability upon the medical profession for mistakes occurring during treatment or surgery.

Cleveland State Law Review
An attempt has been made to review what the courts have recently said about medical witnesses and their testimony. Many questions can be asked about particular decisions, and indeed, an entire article could be written about individual cited cases. The only purpose of this paper is to review the recent decisions in order to give you a panoramic view of the type of questions which the courts are being asked to answer about the medical witness and his testimony.
The Injured Arthritic: His Medico-Legal Rights, Louis J. Gelber
The Injured Arthritic: His Medico-Legal Rights, Louis J. Gelber
Cleveland State Law Review
Plaintiffs in general fare rather poorly in litigation cases when trauma is responsible for the aggravation of their arthritic condition. The inadequate rewards are usually due to the poor presentation of the claimant's case to the judge and jury. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate some of the disabling results that trauma inflicts on victims of arthritis of the spinal column, and to discuss adjudication of these cases, as well as suggested therapy by means of x-rays.
