100% 1. Long v. Hillcrest Healthcare-West, No. E2009-01405-COA-R3-CV
(Tenn. App. 4/16/2010) (Tenn. App., 2010) April 16, 2010 1. It is not
entirely clear to me that the plaintiff in her complaint alleges or even
attempts to allege a cause of action sounding in medical malpractice.
Certainly the language of such a claim, e.g., medical malpractice,
standard of care, deviation, injury/damages caused by the deviation, is
nowhere to be found in the complaint. The only reference to "medical
malpractice" is contained in the letters mailed by the plaintiff's
attorney to the defendants on March 16, 2009, but these...

100% 2. Deen v. Egleston, No. 09-11458 (11th Cir. 2/26/2010) (11th Cir.,
2010) February 26, 2010 Experience and experimentation in the states has
shown that medical malpractice lawsuits are not a major driver of
skyrocketing healthcare costs. The Court doubts whether medical
malpractice lawsuits were ever a real part of the healthcare problem, with
respect to rising costs, in this country. The impetus behind the special
legislation for medical malpractice cases appears to have been based on
either misunderstanding of the problem of healthcare expenses, or an
outright boondoggle. Although...

100% 3. Fierle v. Jorge Perez M.D., Ltd., 125 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 54 (Nev.
11/19/2009), 125 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 54 (Nev., 2009) November 19, 2009 We
begin by analyzing whether the language of NRS 41A.071 encompasses
professional negligence actions. NRS 41A.071 requires the filing of an
expert affidavit in actions for medical malpractice or dental malpractice.
However, it is not clear if medical malpractice encapsulates professional
negligence. Initially, we note that the definition for professional
negligence that was added in 2004 (NRS 41A.015) essentially duplicates the
definition for medical malpractice contained in NRS 41A.009. As...

100% 5. Potter v. McLeary, 484 Mich. 397, 774 N.W.2d 1 (Mich., 2009) July
31, 2009 5. The NOI statute only applies to medical malpractice actions.
This is clearly a medical malpractice action, but not for the reasons
stated by the majority. Huron is subject to medical malpractice liability
because a principal sued for the medical malpractice of its agent is sued
in medical...

100% 6. Warren v. Louisiana Medical Mutual Insurance Company, No.
2007-CC-0492 (La. 6/26/2009) (La., 2009) June 26, 2009 prescription. These
cases are equally applicable here. The expressed reasoning behind the
holding in LeBreton was that if the general rules on interruption were to
apply to a medical malpractice action, "then the prescription and
suspension provisions provided in the Medical Malpractice Act will be
written out," and "[t]herein lies the conflict." LeBreton, supra at 1230.
Although La. C.C.P. art. 1153 does not "interrupt" prescription as did the
general codal articles in...

100% 7. Eads v. Community Hosp., 909 N.E.2d 1009 (Ind. App., 2009) June
23, 2009 Here, ... McGill's proposed medical malpractice complaint is not
a continuation of her class action claims. While McGill's [negligence and
civil rights] complaints share similarities with her proposed [medical
malpractice] complaint, those similarities are not sufficient to save her
proposed complaint. McGill's federal and state court class actions sought
recovery for alleged negligence, gross negligence and civil rights
violations under 42 U.S.C. 1983. McGill did not allege a claim for...

100% 8. Johnsey v. Northbrooke Manor, Inc., No. W2008-01118-COA-R3-CV
(Tenn. App. 5/14/2009) (Tenn. App., 2009) May 14, 2009 a timely referral
for medical diagnosis and care. We conclude that these claims sound in
medical malpractice, as the decisions, acts, or omissions complained of
"required the assessment of a patient's medical condition" and were "based
upon medical science, specialized training or skill." Conley, 236 S.W.3d
at 729. For instance, the plaintiff claims that, due to Mr. Johnsey's
condition, he should have been transported using a gait belt or with the
aid of an additional nursing...

100% 9. Teague v. St. Paul Fire and Marine Ins. Co., 10 So.3d 806 (La.
App., 2009) April 7, 2009 Herbert Mang, Jr., an attorney whose practice is
limited to medical malpractice defense, testified on behalf of Dr. Teague
as a legal expert witness in the field of medical malpractice. Mr. Mang
initially explained that a "consent to settle" clause is a provision
contained in some medical malpractice policies that requires the insurer
to obtain the insured physician's permission, usually in writing, to
settle a case brought against the physician. He testified that the
existence of such...

100% 10. French v. The Stratford House, No. E2008-00539-COA-R3-CV (Tenn.
App. 1/29/2009) (Tenn. App., 2009) January 29, 2009 It is well established
in Tennessee that not every allegation of wrongdoing against a hospital or
a doctor is necessarily for medical malpractice. Estate of Doe v.
Vanderbilt Univ., Inc., 958 S.W.2d 117, 120 (Tenn. Ct. App. 1997) (failure
to notify former patient that blood transfusion had not been tested for
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) sounded in negligence and not medical
malpractice.) See also Pullins v. Fentress County Gen. Hosp., 594 S.W.2d
