Amnesia After Brain Injury, Ewing H. Crawfis
Amnesia After Brain Injury, Ewing H. Crawfis
Cleveland State Law Review
In discussing amnesia, it is first important to point out that it occurs as but one of a number of symptoms of brain injury. While we choose to single it out, we should keep in mind that it exists contemporaneously with, and in relation to, other symptoms.
Psychological Assessment Of Brain Damage, Bill J. Barkley
Psychological Assessment Of Brain Damage, Bill J. Barkley
Cleveland State Law Review
We need more emphasis upon courses in Forensic Psychology in our law schools as well as in our graduate departments of psychology. The average clinical psychologist shies away from involving himself in cases that might eventually lead to testifying. The psychologist is not trained to answer with a "Yes" or a "No" and therefore is not accustomed to this procedure in the court room. In my estimation it is time that the clinical psychologist is helped to grow up legally, by having a better understanding of forensics, and it is time the legal profession is helped to grow up by …
Criminal Law - Insane Persons - Influence Of Mental Illness On The Parole Return Process, David G. Davies S.Ed., John H. Hess M.D.
Criminal Law - Insane Persons - Influence Of Mental Illness On The Parole Return Process, David G. Davies S.Ed., John H. Hess M.D.
Michigan Law Review
Defendants in the criminal process are divided into rigidly exclusive categories of mental health. The competent to stand trial are first separated from the incompetent. Then the competent are divided on the basis of their mental state at the time of their acts between the "sane" and the "insane." As long as these rigid categories are administered in an adversary trial system, some misdirection of victims of serious mental illness into the penal system is almost inevitable. Even where mental illness might otherwise prevent conviction, those accused of non-capital felonies are not likely to raise the question, and few courts …

Radiation Injuries And Statistics: The Need For A New Approach To Injury Litigation, Samuel D. Estep
Michigan Law Review
The emphasis given by the mass media of communication to some of the dramatic problems arising from the use of nuclear energy unfortunately has diverted attention from some of the matters about which something can be done by lawyers, administrators, and legislators without the necessity of complicated international negotiations between various parties to the "Cold War." The headlines leave the uninformed, and perhaps often also the informed, public with the impression that even for radiation injuries the important problems all deal with such questions as: (1) Will only a few or many millions of people survive an all-out nuclear war? …
Torts - Obstruction Of A Civil Action - Coercion By A Medical Association To Preclude Availability Of Expert Testimony In A Medical Malpractice Action, William Y. Webb
Torts - Obstruction Of A Civil Action - Coercion By A Medical Association To Preclude Availability Of Expert Testimony In A Medical Malpractice Action, William Y. Webb
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff approached nine physicians in an attempt to secure an expert witness for a medical malpractice action. All nine refused, allegedly as a result of threats by the county medical association to expel them and cause a cancellation of their malpractice liability insurance if they testified. The association's actions stemmed from a finding by its "malpractice committee" that the malpractice defendant had not been negligent. Plaintiff then brought this action against the association to recover compensatory and punitive damages for obstruction of a civil action. On appeal from an order granting a motion for nonsuit, held, affirmed. No cause …

Administrator's View Of Doctor-Lawyer-Hospital Relations, Thomas Hale Jr.
Administrator's View Of Doctor-Lawyer-Hospital Relations, Thomas Hale Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
In the September 1959 issue of the Cleveland-Marshall Law Reivew, Mr. Howard Oleck, Assistant Dean and Professor of Law of the School, has written an article discussing the legal relationships of physician, lawyer, and hospital administrator. While he addresses himself primarily to the legal relationships between these three groups, his article also concerns itself to some extent with the professional and administrative relationships involved. The article then goes on to discuss the case of Morwin v. Albany Hospital, and certain conclusions are drawn from the author's interpretation of this case which he applies to the "triangle" of doctor, lawyer, and …
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 …
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.
Hospital Privileges Revisited, Irwin N. Perr
Hospital Privileges Revisited, Irwin N. Perr
Cleveland State Law Review
It is the opinion of this writer that the laws relating to hospital privileges basically are sound and in the public interest.There is no clear reason to overthrow the accumulated wisdom of the last hundred years. American hospitals have become the best in the world because of the freedom with which they have been allowed to function. This does not militate against the constant march for improvement. As can be seen, there are cases where individuals are handicapped in their use of hospitals.These situations reflect social problems, not defects in existing laws which, like our Constitutional rights, sometimes are somewhat …
Workmen's Compensation - Occupational Diseases - Radiation Injury Amendment, Vance A. Fisher S.Ed.
Workmen's Compensation - Occupational Diseases - Radiation Injury Amendment, Vance A. Fisher S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The Kansas Workmen's Compensation Act has recently been amended to take more complete account of the complex nature of injuries which might arise through the increased use of radioactive materials and ionizing radiation. The effect of the amendment is twofold. First, it makes more inclusive the definition of radiation injury as an occupational disease by treating "exposure to ionizing radiation" as a cause of compensable injury. Second, it removes all time limitation periods with regard to the giving of notice and the filing of claims and extends the general limitation period from one year from the date of disablement or …

Commitment Of The Mentally Ill: Problems Of Law And Policy, Hugh Alan Ross
Commitment Of The Mentally Ill: Problems Of Law And Policy, Hugh Alan Ross
Michigan Law Review
A number of recent events makes it timely to reconsider certain aspects of the relation between psychiatry and the law. In the past decade, both the public and the legal profession have been increasingly concerned with the impact of mental illness on the law. In 1952, an outstanding text, Psychiatry and The Law, was published as the joint effort of a lawyer and a psychiatrist. Two years later the Durham case laid down a new test of insanity in criminal cases, rejecting the M'Naghten rule. Interest in the case resulted in a host of law review articles, symposiums, and …

Mental Illness And The Law Of Contracts, Robert M. Brucken S.Ed., David L. Genger S.Ed., Denis T. Rice S.Ed., Mark Shaevsky S.Ed., William R. Slye S.Ed., Robert P. Volpe S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The traditional and most important problem relative to mental illness and the contract is the situation created when mental illness exists at the time of agreement (the problem of contractual capacity). One principal result of mental illness at this time may be the avoidance of the contract by the mentally ill person. Since case law in this area is extensive, the major portion of the study is concerned with this problem (parts II, III and IV) and the effects of such incapacity throughout the remaining course of the contract. Mental illness occurring after agreement and at the time of performance …
Medical Aspects Of Chemical Tests For Intoxication, Philip Jones
Medical Aspects Of Chemical Tests For Intoxication, Philip Jones
Cleveland State Law Review
Three chemical tests are most frequently used. These are the estimation of the alcohol content of the (1) blood, (2) urine, and (3) breath. Each of these shows a reasonably accurate estimation of the degree of intoxication provided certain precautions are observed. Unfortunately, under some circumstances the results of these tests may be misleading and be invalid in evidence. In order to appreciate these limitations it is necessary to understand the physiology of the absorption and excretion of alcohol in the body.
Physician's Use Of Hospital Facilities: Right Or Privilege, Jewel Hammond Mack
Physician's Use Of Hospital Facilities: Right Or Privilege, Jewel Hammond Mack
Cleveland State Law Review
The issue is clear: Do the hospitals exist primarily as corporations (business entities), of primary concern only as "private preserves" governed solely as their administrators wish?Or do the hospitals exist primarily as facilities for medical aid to the public; as instrumentalities for physicians to use in aiding the public? Put otherwise, the issue is: Do doctors exist for the convenience of hospitals, or hospitals for the convenience of doctors? Should public interests or hospital management interests come first?The answers are obvious. The law as it is now is contrary to the public's interests.

Doctor, Lawyer, And Hosptial Administrator: A New Triangle, Howard L. Oleck
Doctor, Lawyer, And Hosptial Administrator: A New Triangle, Howard L. Oleck
Cleveland State Law Review
Hospitals are deeply invovled in the great majority of medicolegal case problems. Yet surprisingly little attention has been given to the relation of the hospital to doctor lawyer-patient situations as a factor in itself. Most discussions of hospitals and law deal generally with hospital liability for negligence of hospital agents-as though the hospital were a monolithic entity in itself. Lawyers seldom look further into the relation of the doctor to the hospital administration and vice versa; deeming this to be a matter of small concern to them. Doctors, of course, know well the importance of hospital politics and procedures to …
Medicolegal Aspects Of Alcoholism, Naoma Lee Stewart
Medicolegal Aspects Of Alcoholism, Naoma Lee Stewart
Cleveland State Law Review
Since the passage of three centuries has seen the explanation for excessive drinking progress from a vice to a disease, it is pertinent to have a brief study of the recent findings about alcoholism in order to compare these newer medical concepts with some of the legal principles on drunkenness which have been long and firmly established in the law.
Paternity And Prolonged Pregnancy, Irwin N. Perr
Paternity And Prolonged Pregnancy, Irwin N. Perr
Cleveland State Law Review
The question of paternity and prolonged pregnancy is a subject not only of great professional interest to lawyers and physicians, but is one that all of us find sometimes intriguing, sometimes humorous, and sometimes tragic.
A Study Of Fatal Trauma, Earl B. Sanborn
A Study Of Fatal Trauma, Earl B. Sanborn
Cleveland State Law Review
Treatment of the complications of the injured patient is frequently more important than the injury itself. Such complications as shock, traumatic wet lung, atelectases, etc., are a direct result of the injury. Patients may suffer obvious severe trauma, only to die of the unrecognized and untreated complication. Postmortem examinations establish the nature, extent and effect of trauma-i.e., causation, from the lawyer's as well as the physician's point of view.In all cases of death following traumatic accident, the lawyer should investigate the unapparent as well as the obvious injuries; ordinarily by use of autopsy. In a surprising number of cases inadequate …
Frontal Injuries Of The Skull, Paul H. Crandall
Frontal Injuries Of The Skull, Paul H. Crandall
Cleveland State Law Review
Results of injuries to the frontal parts of the skull are often serious but treatable by prompt surgery. Various types of fractures are common. Most dangerous is the possibility of infection in the interior cavities of the skull. X-ray study of such injuries is practically mandatory. Failure to give prompt and proper treatment often results in serious complications later. Any injury to the frontal parts of the skull should be viewed by attorneys as serious, with strong probability of future complications except perhaps when prompt medical attention of highly modern character has forestalled some of the possible complications.
Secondary Effects Of Trauma: (Pain) Sympathetic Dystrophies, Louis W. Lewis
Secondary Effects Of Trauma: (Pain) Sympathetic Dystrophies, Louis W. Lewis
Cleveland State Law Review
Sympathetic Dystrophy or causalgia (pain) is a disability following traumatic injury. It consists of burning pain, glossy sweating, skin changes, and exquisite tenderness caused by tissue damage involving the sympathetic nervous system. Treatment consists of "blocking" the sympathetic nerves to the area by injecting drugs or by surgical repair. As the item of "pain and suffering" always is a major factor in a lawyer's estimate of the proper amount of a damage award, the medical analysis here presented is of wide interest and utility to lawyers as well as to physicians.

Premenstrual Tension, Medicine And Law, Irwin N. Perr
Cleveland State Law Review
The premenstrual tension syndrome is one characterized by emotional and physiologic symptoms occurring in the period preceding menstruation. A medical re-evaluation and description for the attorney may serve to clarify a subject full of misunderstandings, superstitions and false concepts.
