State Medical Malpractice Screening Panels In Federal Diversity Actions, Vincent C. Alexander Jan 1979

State Medical Malpractice Screening Panels In Federal Diversity Actions, Vincent C. Alexander

Faculty Publications

During the early 1970's, a medical malpractice crisis was perceived in the United States. An increasing number of costly and time-consuming lawsuits alleging medical malpractice against doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers caused malpractice insurers to raise premiums substantially, which in turn threatened to curtail the availability of adequate health care at reasonable cost. State legislatures responded to the crisis with a variety of substantive and procedural measures intended to reduce the number of litigated claims and the size of jury awards. One of the principal steps taken in a majority of states was the creation of extrajudicial panels …

The Role Of Judges In Life/Death Decisions For The Neurologically Impaired, H. Richard Beresford Nov 1978

The Role Of Judges In Life/Death Decisions For The Neurologically Impaired, H. Richard Beresford

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The Massachusetts Supreme Court has recently ruled that decisions about withholding care from hopelessly ill, legally incapacitated patients must be made by judges. It clearly rejected the view that families and attending physicians should be empowered to make such decisions. In this respect, the ruling contrasts with that of the Quinlan case and highlights the issue of whether judges or physicians and families are better able to make medically and morally sound decisions respecting this class of patients.

Father And Mother Know Best: Defining The Liability Of Physicians For Inadequate Genetic Counseling, Ellen Wright Clayton Jun 1978

Father And Mother Know Best: Defining The Liability Of Physicians For Inadequate Genetic Counseling, Ellen Wright Clayton

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Although genetic disorders have been recognized for centuries, recent advances in the study of human genetics often permit accurate determination of the risk that parents will have genetically defective children.' When this information is available either before conception or during pregnancy, prospective parents may choose to prevent the birth of such defective children through contraception or abortion. Recently, courts have been called on to define the circumstances in which either the parents or the children should receive tort damages when parents are denied opportunities to prevent the birth of defective children because of their physicians' negligent failure to detect or …

A Revolution In White--New Approaches In Treating Nurses As Professionals, Walter T. Eccard

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note will review the development of nursing as a profession, discuss current trends in nursing, review the current case law in light of these developments, and, finally, propose alternative approaches to the questions relating to nursing malpractice. Specifically, this Note will examine the questions of the appropriate statute of limitations for nursing malpractice cases, the need for nurses as expert witnesses in malpractice actions, and the proper standard of care for a registered nurse. These questions will be considered in the context of the various state licensure laws, the newly established nurse certification programs, and the formal educational training …

In Search Of A Standard Of Care For The Medical Profession: The "Accepted Practice" Formula, Joseph H. King, Jr. Nov 1976

In Search Of A Standard Of Care For The Medical Profession: The "Accepted Practice" Formula, Joseph H. King, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

American lawmakers and jurists are or soon will be confronted with a number of vital decisions affecting the professional liability of members of the healing arts. At issue is the continuing validity of the present system of fault based liability for medical malpractice, as well as the essential nature such a system should assume if it survives. Though often divorced, the two issues are inextricably wedded. The survival of the fault based system will assuredly depend in large measure on whether it can be made to work more efficiently and more consistently while meeting its espoused goal of loss redistribution …

Medical Malpractice—Unconscious Patient—Liability For Defective Instruments—Hospitals And Enterprise Liability—Anderson V. Somberg, 67 N.J. 291, 338 A.2d 1 (1973), John Ludlow

Washington Law Review

In November 1967, defendant Dr. Somberg performed spinal surgery, using general anesthetic, on the plaintiff. During the procedure a jaw of the pituitary rongeur he was using broke off and lodged in the plaintiff's spine. The doctor terminated the operation after numerous unsuccessful attempts to recover the fragment. Four months later he retrieved the jaw in a second operation. The plaintiff suffered permanent injuries for which he sought recovery from the following: (1) Dr. Somberg for negligently causing the rongeur to break; (2) the hospital in which the surgery was performed for negligently furnishing a defective instrument; (3) the medical …
