Legal Aspects Of The Hospital Emergency Room, Charles U. Letourneau
Legal Aspects Of The Hospital Emergency Room, Charles U. Letourneau
Cleveland State Law Review
In any discussion of an emergency room or an emergency department or an emergency service, a definition of the terms of reference is always helpful at the start. Unfortunately, definitions of what constitutes an "emergency room" are not easily found and although numerous regulations governing hospitals refer to the provision of emergency service, none have hazarded a precise definition. Thus far, definitions all seem to be in agreement that personnel, materials and regulations should be present to insure immediacy or promptness of care. But uniform agreement on how immediacy and promptness are to be provided does not seem to be …

Investigational Drugs And The Law, George F. Archambault
Investigational Drugs And The Law, George F. Archambault
Cleveland State Law Review
Moving directly to the subject "Investigational Drugs and the Law" and being concerned primarily with preventative law, a topic not unlike preventative medicine, what is it that must be known as a lawyer in this specialty field in order to aid physicians and pharmacists involved in clinical research, in clinical pharmacology research, in hospital administration, and in nursing and pharmacy practices to keep them from legal pitfalls? It is necessary to tackle the subject in a two-pronged manner: (1) the federal and state statutes, and (2) case law.
The Physician As A Witness, Robert I. Zashin
The Physician As A Witness, Robert I. Zashin
Cleveland State Law Review
As a public servant the physician, being licensed to practice medicine, has certain obligations both to the state and to his profession. His primary obligation is to give aid to his patients and offer himself as a person capable of diagnosis and treatment of human ills. It is conceded by most observers that few professions require more careful preparation than that of medicine. However, a doctor's skill is not always to be found in his office. He is now often called upon to "battle" in the courts as an expert witness. In the growing interrelationship between law and medicine, the …
Statutes Of Limitations And Undiscovered Malpractice, Stanley Sacks
Statutes Of Limitations And Undiscovered Malpractice, Stanley Sacks
Cleveland State Law Review
A number of general legal problems have arisen out of malpractice actions and applicable statutes of limitations. Thus, the fact that there is a choice as to which event starts limitations running against the malpractice actions, either the physician's wrongful act or omission, or when such act or omission resulted in injury, is as naturally susceptible of varying judicial interpretation as the myriad of other legal situations. The situation that too often fosters injustice and thereby demands immediate and appropriate action, whether legislative or judicial, is that predicament where the wrongful act of a medical practitioner results in injury, but …
Battery In Medical Torts, Don S. Smith
Battery In Medical Torts, Don S. Smith
Cleveland State Law Review
The purpose of this paper is not so much to explore when and under what circumstances a battery takes place but to deal with the problems which the classification itself creates. These include questions of the applicability of special malpractice statutes of limitation, whether an action can be maintained under the Federal Tort Claims Act, coverage under malpractice insurance policies, causation and damages, and the requirement of expert medical testimony to provide a standard against which the conduct of the defendant may be measured.
