Cleveland V. Perry: A Case Study

Case Citation: Gallagher v. Cayuga Medical Center 151 AD 3d 1349 - NY: Appellate Div., 3rd Dept. 2017 Background: In this civil case Timothy W. Gallagher is the appellant, and Cayuga Medical Center (CMC) is the respondents. The case took place in the appellate division of the supreme court of New York, division three. The plaintiff’s complaint was that Cayuga Medical Center had asserted medical malpractice, negligence, wrongful death and emotional distressed.

It would have been helpful to have his signature on the consent. Physicians can get too relaxed with consents and risks and benefits and documentation in the medical record. It goes by unnoticed until a patient has a complication and the physician is unable to prove what they did. Or maybe sometimes, they really did not get informed consent. The plaintiff would have still have an injuries caused by the procedure, but would likely have been considered an unfortunate bad outcome, but not negligence.

In order to maintain a claim regarding medical malpractice, a plaintiff must show 1) a duty owed to the plaintiff by the defendant (inherent, voluntary, or statutory) 2) a breach of the duty by allowing the conduct to fall below the standard of care, and 3) a compensable injury proximately caused by the defendant’s breach of duty. Carey was able to establish an inherent duty was owed to him by Connelly but was not able to provide evidence to support his claim about the breach of duty by conduct or that his injury was caused solely by the conduct of

He was found guilty because of a murder case of his friend Perry. The evidence that convicted James was three hair samples that found in James 's van, the RCMP said they were Harder 's. But before James’s arrest, he committed a crime along with his friend Perry. They were running a “chop shop,” they cut apart stolen vehicles and sold the parts. In November 1989, the police arrested both James and Perry.

In the Shea v. Esensten case, there was a lot of information that was compared to different laws. “Mr. Shea's doctor persuaded Mr. Shea, who was then forty years old, that he was too young and did not have enough symptoms to justify a visit to a cardiologist. A few months later, Mr. Shea died of heart failure” (Shea v. Esensten, 1997). The given information brought into question, why would the doctor not make a referral for Mr. Shea? “Mr. Shea had been an employee of Seagate Technologies, Inc. (Seagate) for many years.

Weber (1962) it was quoted "The fact that a particular injury suffered by a patient as the result of an operation is something that rarely occurs does not in itself prove that the injury was probably caused by the negligence of those in charge of the operation. " There was a chance that the inherent risks would happen to Cobbs, but it was not at the purpose of Grant’s negligence. Under Berkey v Anderson (1969), the defendant (physician), similar to this case, failed to inform and obtain consent from the patient about inherent risks of an operation and knew there would be complications. The defendant was found guilty of “technical” battery. The court was divided on the issue of whether this case would deem Grant’s action as negligence or battery.

After reviewing Justice Brennan’s dissenting opinion, I cannot agree with his argument that a conducting a protective sweep surpasses the purpose of the Terry v. Ohio decision. Justice Brennan agreed that a protective sweep was not a full-blown search, but it was much more intrusive than a limited pat down for weapons or the frisk of an automobile (Sifferlen, 1991). Also, Justice Brennan also stated he believed officers’ should possess probable cause to initiate a protective sweep of a home (Sifferlen, 1991). The Terry v. Ohio decision permits law enforcement officers to perform a pat down of the outer clothing, when the officer has reasonable suspicion to believe the subject he or she is dealing with, is armed and dangerous (Hall, 2015). The main purpose of Terry v. Ohio decision is to locate weapons that may be used to hurt the

The court found the “Defendant's care of Claimant fell below acceptable standards of practice” (Stashenko, 2015).

The case I will be concentrating on is Tomcik vs. Ohio Dep’t of Rehabilitation and Correction in which Tomcik was imprisoned under the custody of Department of Rehabilitation and correction, based on the Legal and Ethical Issues for Health Professionals book. The problem stimulated from continuous negligence from nurses and doctors at the department, which initially was when Tomcik received a physical evaluation, included the breast examination by Dr. Evans who stated that the examination was cursory and lasted only a few seconds, which means that not much attention was presented regarding the patient and his job. The next day Tomcik noticed a lump as being about the size of a pea in her right breast, however it was not reported by Dr. Evans.
