In the second case Johnson v. Misericordia Community Hospital, Corporate Negligence was clearly performed. Invispress.com states that “the existence of the records shows that Misericordia had been negligent in hiring Salinsky”. The facility should have done a more thorough investigation and followed the state’s bylaws and statutes pertaining to the proper credential verification on Dr. Salinsky upon applying to Misericordia Community Hospital before giving him the privilege to practice. If only they would have done that, they would have realized that Dr. Salinsky had falsified numerous statements on his application. I personally think that both the hospital as well as Dr. Salinsky are both at fault for the permanent damage they caused the patient

In response to these allegations, Dr. Emmer advised that he could testify that that Dr. Rehman’s discontinuation of Glucovance was not a breach of the standard of care. In support of this opinion Dr. Emmer attested that Glucovance is an anti-hyperglycemic drug that is used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes—from which Ms. Green suffered. Glucovance has the effect of lowering a patient’s blood sugar by increasing the body’s natural insulin production, and by decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. Prior to her hypoglycemic event, Ms. Green had been prescribed Glucovance to treat her type 2 diabetes, but fourteen days prior to the event Dr. Rehman discontinued Glucovance. Dr. Emmer submits that not only was discontinuing Glucovance not a breach of the relevant standard of care, but discontinuing Glucovance would have affirmatively reduced Ms. Green’s risk of suffering from hypoglycemia. This is so because, Glucovance, as a glucose-reducing agent, would have increased Ms. Green’s risk for a hypoglycemic event, and discontinuing that drug would have helped to abate that risk. Moreover, Dr. Emmer claimed that Glucovance has a half-life of two-to-three days, and that the drug should have been completely

Ashley had a diabetic episode during a class where a substitute was teaching. She needed her glucose medication and the substitute would not allow Ashley to get the medication from her bag.

She was found after the class very ill and disoriented and she had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance. The family was told by a doctor that this could have been a potentially fatal situation for Ashley.

In order to prevent injuries that come as a result of medical malpractice, we must understand how negligence/malpractice happens in the first place – through medical errors. When we are healthy we don’t generally pursue medical attention on regular basis. Patients do not usually visit their doctor’s office until they are sick or have injury. From my experience, most times when patient’s health gets worse, sometimes it’s difficult to recognize whether it was because of the current circumstance or because of mistakes or medical error in the treatment offered.

Though he was cooperative, Dr. Sundy was distressed and dismayed that this complaint was made and the efforts Richards took not only to notify his direct supervisor (Dr. Morey Gardener) but also the president of St. Mary’s Medical Center as well, let alone bringing it in the first place.

In this case the four elements were clearly neglected by the nurse. Duty, dereliction, direct course, and damages had to be present in order for the patient to sue the nurse. The patient suffered injuries due to a procedure that was administered by the nurse. The process also caused other injuries to the patient. This gave the patient the burden of proof she needed to prevail in her lawsuit.

In the case of the Eureka nursing home, the family was right in suing the nursing home, due to the negligence of their loved one. The Sharp family entrusted Granada Rehabilitation and Wellness Center Nursing Home to care for their loved one, who suffered from dementia, and yet failed to monitor the lack of bowel movements, which resulted in her demise. And the worse part, this was the fourth claim of negligence from this particular facility, which should have been taken care of with better staffing.
