    In the Darling v. Charleston Community Memorial Hospital, Dr. Alexander’s way of treating the patient is a great example of medical malpractice. Although the failure to follow the adequate standard of care might have been unintentional, it resulted in a very significant and permanent damage to the patient. When a patient chooses to go to a hospital to seek medical attention, he or she expects the facility to treat him with excessive care. In this case, the jury found negligence by both Dr. Alexander as well as in the nursing staff in regards to the follow ups as the medical record supported the evidence. I strongly believe that both the physician as well as the hospital (unless the physician was an independent contractor) are both responsible…

    In the case presented for discussion described above, it was imminent that Dr. Yarnell had a justifiable medical history that supported his symptoms. Nonetheless, it can be argued the way PA Brian decided to evaluate and treat Dr. Yarnell was biased or based on personal interests. PA Brian’s medical judgment was compromised. Mutual personal motivations existed between Dr. Yarnell and PA Brian. However, as a clinician PA Brian should have impartially evaluated Dr. Yarnell by properly and examining and documenting his findings or properly redirecting Dr.Yarnell to a different clinician. If the patient (Dr. Yarnell) was never appropriately examined, how can PA Brian as a health care provider substantiate that the medication prescribed was adequate and beneficial for the…

    Damon Weber was an energetic, likable young man whose life ended at the young age of sixteen as a result of what his father, Mr. Weber, believes was a deviation from the expected standard of care at the hand of physicians at the New York Columbia Presbyterian Hospital (Weichselbaum, 2012). As a result, Mr. Weber filed a medical malpractice suit on behalf of Damon against New York Columbia Presbyterian Hospital and the medical director of pediatric heart transplants, Dr. Mason. The case is currently being heard in the Brooklyn Supreme Court. We will take a look at the issues and parties affected in this case as well as the stakeholders involved. When the case is reviewed we will see how this is not just another medical malpractice case of wrongful death. This is a story of change and how one father takes on the “fiefdom” (Weber, 2012) of a world-renowned metropolitan hospital to vindicate the death of his eldest son.…
