Damages-Pain And Suffering-Use Of A Mathematical Formula, Thomas D. Heekin S .Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Measurement of damages for pain and suffering is, in a sense, an attempt to measure the unmeasurable; yet as long as our law recognizes a right to recover for pain and suffering, the jury or judge must arrive at some concrete figure. The traditional approach of simply instructing the jury that they should arrive at a reasonable amount provides little, if any, guidance. The question is whether this approach, nevertheless, remains the best of a bad lot of alternatives. If more guidance is desirable, what can be accomplished within the framework of our present system? The mathematical formula discussed in …

Consent To Surgery, Gerald M. Smith, R. Joseph Olinger
Consent To Surgery, Gerald M. Smith, R. Joseph Olinger
Cleveland State Law Review
The legal aspects of a patient's consent to operation, or the lack of such consent, are many and varied. The general rule is that consent of the patient, or of someone authorized to act for him, is necessary in order for a physician to legally operate. This rule is not altered by the fact that an unauthorized operation is slight and ordinarily is not accompanied by serious consequences. Where no consent is present, a surgical operation upon the body is a technical battery, and in the absence of exceptional circumstances, appropriate damages may be recovered from the physician. The question …
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
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.

Recent Developments In Ohio's Charitable Immunity Law, Crawford Morris
Recent Developments In Ohio's Charitable Immunity Law, Crawford Morris
Cleveland State Law Review
It is now almost five years since our Supreme Court announced its decision in the Avellone case. During these five years, the two problems created by the Avellone decision have ,like "Mother Carrie's chickens" "come home to roost." Our Supreme Court has resolved each in turn, one in favor of charitable immunity for all charitable institutions except those that have the misfortune to run hospitals, the other further against hospitals for all acts of all servants.

Malpractice Used As A Hospital Defense, Carl H. Miller
Malpractice Used As A Hospital Defense, Carl H. Miller
Cleveland State Law Review
Hospital immunity in negligence and other torts of agents and employees is disappearing steadily. The course of decisions in many states has been consistently in the direction of elimination of "charitable" immunity of hospitals. Seeking another line of defense, hospital administrators have re-examined the parties generally involved in a medical negligence action-patient, physician and hospital. Hospital administrators realized quickly that in order to remain free from general negligence liability, the main onus of tort responsibility would have to be shifted to the physician (or even the nurse) whenever and wherever possible.
Blood Transfusion Liability, James A. Thomas
Blood Transfusion Liability, James A. Thomas
Cleveland State Law Review
This paper is concerned with the causes of action available to the recipients of blood transfusions causing injury or death. Its scope is limited to cases where injury or death is caused by the blood itself, as where a transfusion is given with blood which is of the wrong type, or which is infected, or which is given to the wrong person.

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
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 …

Res Ipsa Loquitur In Hospital And Malpractice Cases, Julien C. Renswick
Cleveland State Law Review
Most legal texts state as a matter of law that in order to apply the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur it is required that plaintiff show that the instrumentality causing his injury was in the continuous and exclusive control of one defendant. This general proposition has been stated in Ohio on several occasions. However, in the last few years some exceptions to this general rule have been established in several jurisdictions.

Epilepsy - Post-Traumatic Or Not, Irwin N. Perr
Cleveland State Law Review
This article discusses the legal issues presented in Muscarello v. Peterson. The case presents clearly the medical aspects in ascertaining whether epilepsy is a result of injury or is a result of independent factors. As the court stated, the decision rests basically on medical evidence and its evaluation by the jury.
Torts - Mental Distress - Recovery Against Original Wrongdoer For Fear Of Cancer Caused By Subsequent Medical Advice, Paul Gerding
Torts - Mental Distress - Recovery Against Original Wrongdoer For Fear Of Cancer Caused By Subsequent Medical Advice, Paul Gerding
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, suffering from bursitis in the right shoulder, received X-ray treatments from defendant physicians. Subsequent thereto, plaintiff's shoulder began to itch, scab, and blister for several years, a condition diagnosed as chronic radiodermatitis caused by the X-ray therapy. Approximately two years after the treatments, plaintiff was examined by a dermatologist who advised her to have her shoulder checked every six months because the area might become cancerous. Plaintiff then developed a severe "cancerphobia," an apprehension that she would ultimately develop cancer from the radiation burn. Plaintiff brought a malpractice suit against defendant physicians, seeking recovery for the physical injury and …

Optometrists' Tort Liability, Gerald F. Sweeney
Cleveland State Law Review
The question "Do you need glasses?" should be answered in the affirmative by many people, nowadays. Most of us, at some time, find it necessary to visit one of the many establishments for the correction of defective vision. When the time does arrive, we are confident that our chosen "professional" will fill our needs adequately, yet, mistakes and oversights occur. What happens when a serious injury occurs as a result of this possibility? This article attempts to answer that question briefly.
Tort Liability Of Hospitals, B. Joan Holdridge
Tort Liability Of Hospitals, B. Joan Holdridge
Cleveland State Law Review
In recent years, hospitals have undergone changes both in their financial and physical structures. These changes have resulted in a general alteration of the attitude of the courts toward the liability of hospitals for their torts. From a position of almost total immunity the pendulum is rapidly swinging toward liability generally for their negligence. Since most jurisdictions classify hospitals into three types: private, charitable, and public, when determining their liability or particular acts, this article will discuss each of these classes separately. However, for the sake of convenience, the general rules of liability will be set forth in the discussion …

Medical Malpractice Suits: A Physician's Primer For Defendants, Miley B. Wesson
Cleveland State Law Review
This paper is a primer for physicians and their counsel, outlining ways of avoiding a malpractice suit and what to expect in court. My first county medical society appointment in 1912 was as chairman of the legislative committee, and in the years intervening I have had wide experience advising doctors, helping defense attorneys, appearing in court many times as an expert witness, and as a defendant. So I speak from experience. The suggestions as to technique are, in the main, from the recordsm of three cases (containing photostatic copies of all office and hospital records, pyelograms, detective reports, etc.), loaned …

Torts - Unauthorized Autopsy - Non-Survival Of Action, Lee H. Snyder
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff's husband was struck and killed by a motorbus owned and operated by defendant municipality. The body was removed to a hospital maintained by defendant. Subsequently, at the request and direction of a physician employed by defendant, an autopsy was performed, apparently to determine whether the deceased had been drinking. During the examination certain organs were removed and destroyed. Plaintiff brought an action for damages on the ground that the mutilation was done without her consent and in violation of her legal right to the possession of the body. Plaintiff died while the action was pending, and her administrator continued …

Whiplash - Defense Counsel's View, Harley J. Mcneal
Whiplash - Defense Counsel's View, Harley J. Mcneal
Cleveland State Law Review
Many words have been spoken and written on the controversial subject of whiplash injuries of the cervical spine. However, no papers have been noted which discuss the problem from the viewpoint of the defense trial attorney. From a defense standpoint, some of the medical phrases or words used by doctors today have devastating psychological effects upon jurors trying personal injury cases. The word "whiplash" is one of these "coined" words. Thus, while it is conceded that medical men are only trying to define particular injuries with preciseness, the constant use and repetition of such words or terms cause the average …

Preparation And Trial Of A Medical Malpratice Case, John J. Kennett
Cleveland State Law Review
Law implies from the employment of a doctor contract that the doctor will diagnose and treat his patient with that degree of skill and learning which is possessed by the average member of his profession in the community in which he practices. A doctor licensed to practice is presumed to possess such skill and learning. He does not incur liability for his mistakes if he has used methods, in his diagnosis and treatment, recognized and approved by the average member of the medical profession practicing in his community. A doctor's negligence in departing from the standard of practice in his …

The Frightened Medical Witness; Or Globus Hystericus Must Go, David I. Sindell
Cleveland State Law Review
This article is written on behalf of the many trauma patients and their trial attorneys who discover to their horror, that their important medical witness - the "attending" doctor, - suffers from "Globus Hystericus". It is hoped that this paper may prove to be the elusive Rx to cure some difficulties raised by those few physicians (and yet there are too many) who hide their fear of the witness chair behind lame excuses, or even behind flat refusals to testify.
