Description
1 This medical malpractice case has a lengthy history. Plaintiff in error, a medical doctor specializing in orthopedic surgery, owned and operated his own hospital. Following surgery and hospitalization in August 1959 Ellen Jackson, then 47 years of age and earning her livelihood as a waitress, suffered a permanent impairment of "dropped" right foot. In July 1961 she filed suit to recover damages against both defendant and the hospital alleging four separate causes of action: (1) gross and wanton carelessness and negligence of defendants in numerous respects; (2) defendants breach of both express and implied warranties; (3) fraudulent and deceitful concealment of true facts as to plaintiffs condition and misrepresentations of defendant; (4) assault and batteries above and beyond consent and authority given defendants to perform certain surgical procedures. After the issues were formed the case was presented to a jury.
