An intense and deeply divided debate is taking place over the testing of a short course of AZT to prevent maternal-fetal transmission of HIV in the developing world.' A long course of AZT-administered to HIV-infected pregnant women during their pregnancy and immediately before labor, and then to their newborn children for six weeks-is generally accepted in the United States as providing extensive protection against maternal-fetal transmission of HIV Given the expense and lengthy administration of the long course, American researchers in the developing world designed studies to test the efficacy of a shorter course of AZT administered during late pregnancy …
The Strict Ohio Supreme Court Decision In Biddle: Third Party Law Firm Held Liable For Inducing Disclosure Of Medical Information , Kimberly Rathbone
The Strict Ohio Supreme Court Decision In Biddle: Third Party Law Firm Held Liable For Inducing Disclosure Of Medical Information , Kimberly Rathbone
Journal of Law and Health
Victims of unauthorized disclosures of medical information have enjoyed strict protection by state and federal courts. This is because secrecy is considered a sacred requirement in order to foster honesty and cooperation between a physician and patient. Confidentiality is considered such a vital ingredient to the physician-patient relationship by the medical profession that it is addressed in the oath, which is a prerequisite to admittance into the field of medicine: "All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or outside of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not be spread abroad, …
Denying Medical Staff Privileges Based On Economic Credentials , Sandra Difranco
Denying Medical Staff Privileges Based On Economic Credentials , Sandra Difranco
Journal of Law and Health
Health care costs are continuing to rise. This forces hospitals to consider the cost and efficiency of each physician when making privileging decisions. However, hospitals cannot deny a competitor physician staff privileges strictly based on economic factors. If this is the only consideration that the hospital utilizes, a denial or restriction of privileges based solely on competitive considerations may expose the hospital to liability under federal antitrust as well as state tort claims. This Note will focus primarily on Ohio laws and statutes. A comparison with other jurisdictions also will be analyzed. This Note will illustrate the complexities and ambiguities …
Pink Slip Introduction, Dena S. Davis
Pink Slip Introduction, Dena S. Davis
Journal of Law and Health
What has changed however, is the degree of worry and concern that people feel about the uses to which their genetic information can be put. When the HGP (Human Genome Project) began, a number of pundits were convinced that the "future knowledge" that genetic information can deliver to consumers and insurers alike would completely undermine the practice of private health insurance, and send our current system crashing to the ground. Needless to say, that has not happened; but with 42 million Americans currently without health insurance, and with insurance tightly entwined with employment, many people fear that genetic information will …
Cardiovascular Genetics: Case Studies, Kenneth G. Zahka
Cardiovascular Genetics: Case Studies, Kenneth G. Zahka
Journal of Law and Health
What I'd like to do in the next 10 or 15 minutes is use a case approach which we all use in medicine as you use in law to give you a flavor for how we as clinicians think about things that are oftentimes obviously genetic. But I want to stress to you that probably a day does not go by or a patient does not go by where I don't think in terms of genetic issues for their cardiovascular health.
Can Employers Put Genetic Information To Good Use, Kathleen C. Engel
Can Employers Put Genetic Information To Good Use, Kathleen C. Engel
Journal of Law and Health
In my talk today I am going to try to answer the question: Can employers put genetic information to good use? Preparing this talk was a challenge because it required me to switch sides of the table. Having represented plaintiffs in employment discrimination cases for ten years, my inclination is to focus on the ways that employers can use genetic information to the detriment of their workers. I chose to talk about the value of genetic information from the employers' perspective because I wanted to force myself to engage in a disciplined study of the issues, rather than simply don …
Is There A Pink Slip In Your Genes?, J. B. Silvers
Is There A Pink Slip In Your Genes?, J. B. Silvers
Journal of Law and Health
On the insurance company side, it's clear that insurance companies are not well loved by folks. They're not even supposed to do that. At one point after a company had approached QualChoice and told us not to tell the enrollees something that, in fact, had been a policy decision by the company, I was suggesting that perhaps we should change the name to the company to the "Scapegoat Insurance Company," since that really was what we were being paid for, and I think in this argument that may be part of the issue here.

Application Of Administrative Law To Health Care Reform: The Real Politik Of Crossing The Quality Chasm , Thomas R. Mclean
Application Of Administrative Law To Health Care Reform: The Real Politik Of Crossing The Quality Chasm , Thomas R. Mclean
Journal of Law and Health
Real Politik, a term in vogue at the height of the Cold War, contemplates that in practice, governmental bodies attempt to expand their spheres of influence and control by the application of economic leverage. The federal government is clearly interested in expanding its influence into health care because of its cost. Americans spend over one trillion dollars - forty-four percent of which is paid for by the federal government - on health care each year. To control the cost of health care, governmental reformers proposed the Health Securities Act of 1993 as a frontal assault on the American health care …
Routine Patient Care In Clinical Trials: Whose Cost Is It Anyway?, Dina Berlyn
Routine Patient Care In Clinical Trials: Whose Cost Is It Anyway?, Dina Berlyn
Journal of Law and Health
This article examines the issue of coverage for routine medical expenses for clinical trial patients by third party payers from both a medical and political policy perspective. It is critical for patients, investigators, and sponsors to know who is responsible for paying these costs. This issue affects the willingness of patients to enter clinical trials and has the potential to affect which diseases will be the subjects of clinical trials. This presentation first summarizes the basics of clinical trials and then explores the definition of routine care in clinical trials. Medicare reimbursement, an issue that has been the subject of …
Misperception And Misapplication Of The First Amendment In The American Pluralistic System: Mergers Between Catholic And Non-Catholic Healthcare Systems, Jason M. Kellhofer
Misperception And Misapplication Of The First Amendment In The American Pluralistic System: Mergers Between Catholic And Non-Catholic Healthcare Systems, Jason M. Kellhofer
Journal of Law and Health
This note questions the wisdom of those who content that Catholic health providers, to constitutionally qualify for government assistance or be permitted to merge with public entities, must be stripped of that which makes them most effective - their religious identity. The threat to sectarian healthcare has steadily been on the rise as can be seen in actions such as the American Public Health Association's recent approval of a policy statement recommending more government oversight to preclude the dropping of reproductive services when Catholic and Non-Catholic hospitals merge. Section II explores why these mergers occur and why certain services are …
Hiv/Aids And Human Rights In Russia: Compliance And The Rule Of Law, William F. Flanagan
Hiv/Aids And Human Rights In Russia: Compliance And The Rule Of Law, William F. Flanagan
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article examines Russia’s legal response to its ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic. Russia’s international human rights obligations are reviewed and the article then critically assesses the extent to which Russia’s current HIV/AIDS law and practice are consistent with those obligations. The paper demonstrates that most aspects of Russia’s HIV/AIDS laws are consistent with Russia’s international obligations. However, the paper also documents key parts of HIV/AIDS practice in Russia that are seriously inconsistent with both Russian HIV/AIDS law and Russia’s international human rights obligations. This inconsistency between HIV-related de jure norms and de facto practice raises the question of compliance with the …
Secret Code: The Need For Enhanced Privacy Protections In The United States And Canada To Prevent Employment Discrimination Based On Genetic And Health Information, Patrik S. Florencio, Erik D. Ramanathan
Secret Code: The Need For Enhanced Privacy Protections In The United States And Canada To Prevent Employment Discrimination Based On Genetic And Health Information, Patrik S. Florencio, Erik D. Ramanathan
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The collection of genetic and health information by employers for reasons that are unrelated to the health and safety of workers is an undue infringement of the right to privacy, and consequently should be firmly prohibited by statute. Comprehensive genetic and health information privacy requires the protection of at least three critical elements of the right to privacy--namely choice, secrecy, and confidentiality. While choice and secrecy protect the individual's right to privacy at the collection stage, confidentiality safeguards this right at the point of disclosure. Laws that focus on the inappropriate use of genetic and health information without addressing the …
Dementia And Alzheimer's Disease: An Overview, Peter V. Rabins
Dementia And Alzheimer's Disease: An Overview, Peter V. Rabins
Georgia Law Review
Dementia is a syndromic diagnosis defined by three criteria: cognitive decline, multiple impairments, normal level of consciousness. It is an acquired disorder characterized by multiple impairments of cognition (distinct elements of intellectual processing such as memory, abstraction, judgment, and language) occurring in an individual who is fully alert and attentive. It is now known that at least seventy-five distinct diseases can present as this syndrome and that most of these diseases have specific syndromic patterns that allow clinicians to distinguish among them.
Has The Fog Cleared - Attorney Work Product And The Attorney-Client Privilege: Texas's Complete Transition Into Full Protection Of Attorney Work In The Corporate Context., Fred A. Simpson
St. Mary's Law Journal
The following discussion in this Article fills the gaps in the substantive rules surrounding the attorney work product doctrine and the attorney-client privilege, thereby encouraging practitioners to utilize these tools more freely. Initially, the attorney-client privilege contemplated application only to individuals. As the rule developed in the United States, however, the scope of the privilege broadened until it included corporations. Since 1982, Texas has provided for the attorney-client privilege in Texas Rule of Civil Evidence 503.149. Notably, the Rule defined client in such a way as to include a corporation. Unlike the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine developed much …
Class Dismissed: The Conservative Class Action Revolution Of The Texas Supreme Court., Russell T. Brown
Class Dismissed: The Conservative Class Action Revolution Of The Texas Supreme Court., Russell T. Brown
St. Mary's Law Journal
Historically, Texas plaintiffs enjoyed tremendous flexibility in gaining certification for class action lawsuits because of a liberal approach employed by Texas trial courts. Because certification assignment occurred early in the judicial proceedings, Texas case law encouraged trial courts to grant certification of a class. Putative classes chose to seek relief in state court because of the state’s lax view regarding class actions, particularly when compared to federal courts. Concerns arose throughout Texas about the growing liberal methodology courts used to evaluate putative classes during certification. Federal influence, state lobbies, and legislative pressure led the Texas judiciary, through application of the …
Religion In Public Schools: Let Us Pray - Or Not., Carolyn Hanahan, David M. Feldman
Religion In Public Schools: Let Us Pray - Or Not., Carolyn Hanahan, David M. Feldman
St. Mary's Law Journal
This Essay addresses judicial interpretation and application of the religious protections of students in public schools. Part II addresses the evolution of the law governing prayer in public schools, including the creation of judicial tests utilized in determining whether a school district has impeded the rights of students in the area of religion. Part III examines the application of these tests to various activities, including a discussion of the disparity in judicial interpretation with respect to the permissibility of prayer at public school functions. This Essay concludes with a discussion analyzing the effect of the recent United States Supreme Court …
Interpreting Mineral And Royalty Deeds: The Legacy Of The One-Eighth Royalty And Other Stories., Laura H. Burney
Interpreting Mineral And Royalty Deeds: The Legacy Of The One-Eighth Royalty And Other Stories., Laura H. Burney
St. Mary's Law Journal
Mineral and royalty deeds are notoriously difficult to interpret. Courts complicate the interpretive process in at least two ways. First, they produce opinions that fail to appreciate and explain unique oil and gas concepts. Second, they render deed records unreliable. A variety of title problems flow from this instability. However, a common trait is frequently encountered: the influence of the one-eighth royalty provision typically used for decades in oil and gas leases. Unfortunately, courts have failed to acknowledge this influence. For this reason, title litigation will continue to loom under the legacy of the one-eighth royalty, and title examiners will …
Does Community Notification For Sex Offenders Violate The Eighth Amendment's Prohibition Against Cruel And Unusual Punishment - A Focus On Vigilantism Resulting From Megan's Law., Alex B. Eyssen
St. Mary's Law Journal
Community notification of a sex offender’s presence may be violating the Eighth Amendment’s protection from Cruel and Unusual Punishment. Under Megan’s Law and other sex offender registration statutes, individuals that have completed a prison sentence for a sex crime may have to register as a sex offender. The information of the individual including his name, address, physical description, date of birth, social security number, employer, offense, and picture, is publicly disseminated. As an unintended consequence, individuals who have served their time may have to suffer additional punishment in the form of harassment, vigilantism, and violence.
Taas And Gi Forum V. Texas Education Agency: A Critical Analysis And Proposal For Redressing Problems With The Standardized Testing In Texas., Blakely Latham Fernandez
Taas And Gi Forum V. Texas Education Agency: A Critical Analysis And Proposal For Redressing Problems With The Standardized Testing In Texas., Blakely Latham Fernandez
St. Mary's Law Journal
Texas’s use of the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) test as an accountability program has had numerous negative and far-reaching effects on minorities. Today, students in Texas public schools first take the TAAS test in the third grade. Students continue to take a form of the TAAS test each year, with the exit-level assessment initially given in the eleventh grade. Students must pass all four sections–Mathematics, English, Science, and Social Studies–in order to graduate and receive their high school diploma. Although devised to effectively motivate students, schools, and teachers with the goal of enhancing educational standards, the TAAS test …
Heci V. Neel: Application Of The Discovery Rule To Damages Arising Out Of Oil And Gas Leases., L. Melanie Martin
Heci V. Neel: Application Of The Discovery Rule To Damages Arising Out Of Oil And Gas Leases., L. Melanie Martin
St. Mary's Law Journal
Texas landowners face a heavy burden in bringing claims for damages arising out of inherently undiscoverable damages to mineral estates because the statute of limitations starts at the time of injury rather than the time of discovery. Previously, courts adopted the discovery rule as an exception to the statute of limitations, effectively stalling the starting point of the statute of limitations. A two-pronged threshold inquiry is held before the application of the discovery rule. First, the court must determine if the injury is inherently undiscoverable or not detected despite the use of due diligence. Secondly, there must be objectively verifiable …
