Contibutory Negligence In Medical Malpractice, W. David Alderson
Contibutory Negligence In Medical Malpractice, W. David Alderson
Cleveland State Law Review
Three categories of cases have been noted out of the mass of factually individualistic ones concerning medical malpractice and contributory negligence. The first, where a breach of duty owed the patient by the physician is lacking, involves an injury produced by the patient's own negligence. In the second, the patient's negligence directly contributes to the severity of an injury already present because of the physician's negligence. The plaintiff-patient's damages are not mitigated but rather entirely precluded in light of his acts. Thus a plea of contributory negligence is a complete defense. The third category includes those cases where a time …

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 …
Informed Consent To Medical Treatment, Milton Oppenheim
Informed Consent To Medical Treatment, Milton Oppenheim
Cleveland State Law Review
Medical malpractice is usually considered in terms of negligent conduct by the physician in the course of the physician-patient relation. Many of the actions are not predicated on the law of negligence, although this type of malpractice undoubtedly is the most common type of litigation. A substantial group of cases deal with unauthorized operations, which are characterized as battery, emerging from lack of informed consent.
X-Ray Malpractice, Lucien B. Karlovec
X-Ray Malpractice, Lucien B. Karlovec
Cleveland State Law Review
Doctors today are subjected to many malpractice suits involving non-surgical injuries. Common among these nonsurgical injuries are x-ray injuries. Most of the injuries produced by x-rays have been excessive skin reactions, i.e., burns, occurring during either diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The improper use of x-rays can produce damage other than skin burns, i.e., fibrosis (in effect, shrinkage) of internal organs, sterility or prenatal injuries.
Malpractice In The United Kingdom, R. Bryce-Smith
Malpractice In The United Kingdom, R. Bryce-Smith
Cleveland State Law Review
No law exists which precisely determines the liability of a medical practitioner in respect of his patients. However, the basis of a practitioner's responsibility is that he should "exercise a reasonable degree of skill and care." The principle was first evoked in the case of Lanphier v. Phipos (1838) and it is obvious that in the absence of any more exact requirements, considerable latitude exists. Gradually, various decisions of the courts have limited the field of responsibility, and indicated to some extent what is meant by "reasonable skill and care." With the exception of these modifications, the law has not …

Standard Of Care Of Medical General Practitioners, Milton Oppenheim
Standard Of Care Of Medical General Practitioners, Milton Oppenheim
Cleveland State Law Review
The law takes into account such matters as differences in various schools or systems of medicine, the state of medical acumen and knowledge, the established mode of practice, the locality, and conditions of practice. To reach a logical standard for physicians, and especially for that segment of the profession designated as "the general practitioner," various requirements are recognized by the law. Some courts insist that the degree of care and skill shall be commensurate with the advanced state of the science at the time of rendition of the service. This concept of the amount or degree of scientific medicine must …
Suicide Responsibility Of Hospital And Psychiatrist, Irwin N. Perr
Suicide Responsibility Of Hospital And Psychiatrist, Irwin N. Perr
Cleveland State Law Review
The problem of suicide is a prominent public health problem in this country. Physicians and hospitals have an obvious concern, as do the law courts, where actions for wrongful death and negligence may involve suicide as a result of a tortious act. This paper will restrict comment to the principles and application of present law as to the responsibility of the psychiatric hospital and the psychiatrist and a discussion of some of the applicable psychiatric factors.
Anesthesiology And The Law - In The Long View, Carl E. Wasmuth
Anesthesiology And The Law - In The Long View, Carl E. Wasmuth
Cleveland State Law Review
Anesthesiology is the youngest of the medical specialties. Born of surgical parents, it was nurtured through its infancy by well-meaning and dedicated physicians. Even now this specialty is one of the most litigated fields of medicine, rivaling radiology, surgery, and plastic surgery. This, however, is at best a dubious distinction. Considering the nature of the specialty, one can easily understand the reason. In the hands of the anesthesiologist rests the life of every patient undergoing a surgical operation.
Insuring Against Medical Professional Liability, Bernard D. Hirsh
Insuring Against Medical Professional Liability, Bernard D. Hirsh
Vanderbilt Law Review
The purpose of this article is to analyze the protection provided in medical professional liability policies. Part I consists of a discussion of some of the factors involved in the purchase of malpractice insurance and an examination of the principal insuring agreements, exclusions, and conditions stated in the standard policy. Part II is a summary of the results of a questionnaire sent by the Law Division of the American Medical Association to insurance companies to determine their opinions regarding insurance coverage in a series of hypothetical cases.
Standards Of Care In Anesthesiology, Carl E. Wasmuth
Standards Of Care In Anesthesiology, Carl E. Wasmuth
Cleveland State Law Review
Diplomates of the American Board of Anesthesiology must meet the rigid requirements of this specialty. Anesthesiologists in all sections of the country must meet the same requirements. Hence, the anesthesiologist in a small town is as well qualified as the anesthesiologist practicing in a large city. With this basic premise in mind, it is not difficult, therefore, to set down the medical standards of care in anesthesiology - which in turn determine the legal standards of care in this specialty.

Practice And Procedure-Third-Party Practice-Subrogation And Contribution- Right Of Defendant To Join Physician Who Aggravated Lnjuries, Richard B. Gushée S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A brought an action against B for injuries suffered in an automobile accident and aggravation of those injuries by the negligent treatment of a physician, D. B filed a third-party complaint against D for malpractice contending that D was liable over to him for all or a part of the judgment recovered by A. D's motion to dismiss the third-party complaint for want of a sufficient cause of action was denied. On appeal, held, affirmed. A tort-feasor who has been held liable for injuries is subrogated to any right of action which the injured party may …
