Blunt Injuries Of The Abdomen, Chester C. Guy Jan 1964

Blunt Injuries Of The Abdomen, Chester C. Guy

Cleveland State Law Review

Management of closed abdominal injuries, produced by blunt violence, is one of the most challenging problems that the surgeon has to meet. It is usually made difficult by presence of associated injuries of the head, chest, or extremities, and the obvious severity of these may largely or completely mask the early evidences of abdominal visceral injury. It should be emphasized that, in general, injuries of the head and chest take precedence over those of the abdomen, and it is in the "multipleinjury" cases that intra-abdominal injuries are most frequently overlooked or undertreated. Blows to the abdomen received in sports or …

Statute Of Limitations In Malpractice Actions, Ernest A. Cieslinski Jan 1964

Statute Of Limitations In Malpractice Actions, Ernest A. Cieslinski

Cleveland State Law Review

The ill-treated patient has sought redress for medical malpractice by actions that sound in tort, in contract, or in fraud. As with other actions, the underlying policy of "peace and repose" of all statutes of limitations dictates that these actions be timely. In Ohio, for example, the time limit for an action for malpractice is one year.

This article will deal primarily with the sensation called pain, and the use of narcotics to relieve that sensation.

Defense Against Res Ipsa In Medical Malpractice, Howard M. Rossen Jan 1964

Defense Against Res Ipsa In Medical Malpractice, Howard M. Rossen

Cleveland State Law Review

In a res ipsa loquitur case the injured party is deemed in no position to explain the cause, while the party charged may begin a position to show himself free from negligence. If the plaintiff has equal or superior means of information, the doctrine does not apply. The question is really one of duty on the part of the defendant. Res ipsa loquitur leads only to a possible (not mandatory) inference that the defendant has not complied with his duty to use skill and care, and is not in itself proof that he was under a specific duty. This question …

Radiation Injuries And Time Limitations In Workmen's Compensation Cases, Samuel D. Estep, Walter R. Allan Dec 1963

Radiation Injuries And Time Limitations In Workmen's Compensation Cases, Samuel D. Estep, Walter R. Allan

Michigan Law Review

The increasing use of radioactive materials and radiation-producing devices in industry and elsewhere makes it clear that injuries from exposure to radiation must be anticipated. It becomes relevant, therefore, to inquire into the extent to which the present workmen's compensation statutes will be able to cope with the injuries which may arise from the use of this new source of energy.

Medical Evaluation Of Impairment -- Not Disability, Dwight M. Palmer Oct 1963

Medical Evaluation Of Impairment -- Not Disability, Dwight M. Palmer

Vanderbilt Law Review

Evaluation of physical impairment is a procedure involving purely medical considerations. Rating of disability, on the other hand, involves a host of psychological, sociological, and economic factors. However, doctors, who are especially qualified to rate impairment, are often called upon to evaluate disability, for which function they are not so qualified. Dr. Palmer discusses the prevailing confusion between these two concepts, and sets out the work and proposals of the A.M.A. in this area.

Courts-Scope Of Authority-Sterilization Of Mental Defectives, William R. Warnock May 1963

Courts-Scope Of Authority-Sterilization Of Mental Defectives, William R. Warnock

Michigan Law Review

Respondent, age nineteen, appeared before the probate court of Muskingum County, Ohio, upon an affidavit filed by her mother alleging the child to be feeble-minded and in need of medical treatment. Results of psychological tests were presented at the hearing, revealing that respondent had an intelligence quotient of thirty-six and was therefore a feeble-minded person within the statutory definition. Respondent had had one illegitimate child, for whom she was unable to provide even rudimentary care or financial support, and was physically capable of bearing more children. Taking judicial notice that the state mental hospitals were then overcrowded and unable to …

This article concerns itself with one of the incidents of complex industrial progress-insidious disease, as viewed in the light (or dark) of the statute of limitations.

Traumatic Miscarriage, Beryl W. Stewart Jan 1963

Traumatic Miscarriage, Beryl W. Stewart

Cleveland State Law Review

Attorneys are confronted by an ever increasing amount of litigation concerning miscarriage occasioned by physical and physic trauma. The proof and evaluation of the proximate cause of miscarriage is perplexing. The subject of miscarriage is not a matter of common knowledge, hence the members of the jury are not competent to determine, without expert testimony, whether trauma is the proximate cause of the miscarriage. To add to the burden of proof, the courts have not always adhered to correct medical terminology. But it is particularly important that the correct terms be employed, and expert testimony must be given by competent …

Contibutory Negligence In Medical Malpractice, W. David Alderson Jan 1963

Contibutory Negligence In Medical Malpractice, W. David Alderson

Cleveland State Law Review

Three categories of cases have been noted out of the mass of factually individualistic ones concerning medical malpractice and contributory negligence. The first, where a breach of duty owed the patient by the physician is lacking, involves an injury produced by the patient's own negligence. In the second, the patient's negligence directly contributes to the severity of an injury already present because of the physician's negligence. The plaintiff-patient's damages are not mitigated but rather entirely precluded in light of his acts. Thus a plea of contributory negligence is a complete defense. The third category includes those cases where a time …

Medical Arsenal Of A Personal Injury Lawyer, Albert Averbach Jan 1963

Medical Arsenal Of A Personal Injury Lawyer, Albert Averbach

Cleveland State Law Review

It is amazing how little attention is paid by the trial lawyer to the enormous impact of traumatic injuries upon the human body. Generally, the trial lawyer is content with a woefully inadequate knowledge about the body, and the meaning of but a few medical terms. It is the purpose of this article to arouse the interest of those previously immune to the suggestions of the importance of a fuller knowledge of this subject and to point the way toward those wonderful repositories of information that should beknown by all. [Appended to these remarks is a bibliography of recommended books, …

Subjective Complaints V. Objective Signs, David I. Sindell, Irwin N. Perr Jan 1963

Subjective Complaints V. Objective Signs, David I. Sindell, Irwin N. Perr

Cleveland State Law Review

The word "versus" in the title presents what we think is one of the most important problems of plaintiff trial lawyers today. After years of preparation, we submit our case to a jury; our medical witnesses offer testimony based on long time observation, treatment and evaluation. Then, in walks the defendant's doctor and proceeds to plunge a dagger into our case by calling our client either a malingerer or a neurotic, or just a plain liar. He testifies that he saw none of the objective signs that our medical examiners found, and concludes that all of the subjective complaints are …

Legal Relation Of Trauma To Cancer, Isidore Halpern Jan 1963

Legal Relation Of Trauma To Cancer, Isidore Halpern

Cleveland State Law Review

When a lawyer attempts to discuss the subject of cancer, he finds himself in the position of the nursery rhyme figures, Winken, Blinken and Nod, who attempted to sail a stormy, turbulent sea in a frail washtub. How does the lawyer feel with respect to the medical questions presented by the problem of relation of an isolated trauma to cancer? My legal colleagues disagree violently amongst themselves. I approach the entire subject with humility.

Whiplash Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion And Hemiplegia, Harry A. Gair Jan 1963

Whiplash Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion And Hemiplegia, Harry A. Gair

Cleveland State Law Review

When an apparently normal healthy individual, engaged in a business, trade or profession, within a week following an automobile collision in which his neck experienced the hypermotility and torsional force known as "whiplash," suffers a "stroke" and is left permanently hemiplegic, it would be naive to suppose that those affected by such an affliction would meekly ascribe it all to pure coincidence, and not concentrate their fullest attention on the possible connection between the two events.
