Following an automobile accident, a 46-year-old man was brought to the hospital emergency department by an ambulance. The patient seemed to be alert, was able to answer questions, and claimed to be suffering from a great deal of pain. The physician administered 15 milligrams of morphine intravenously. The patient needed blood but refused a transfusion. After being observed in the emergency department for several hours, the patient was placed on a medical-surgical unit for observation. The following morning, he was unresponsive, and he was eventually pronounced dead. It was later discovered that he had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse. The night of the accident, he had injected heroin and drank several shots of tequila and multiple cans of beer. He had not disclosed any of this to the doctors or nurses treating him. Several years later, his estate sued the physician, claiming medical malpractice.

Analyze the potential success of a claim for negligence under one of the three possible scenarios. Include a detailed discussion of each element of the negligence claim and why that element is met or not met. Discuss the possible defenses that could be reasonably asserted by the doctor to each claim, and why that defense might apply. Lastly, include a paragraph describing which, if any, claim you believe might be the most successful against the doctor and why.

A 38 year old man named Tom visited his local doctor complaining of high fever, loss of appetite, headache, anxiety, confusion, agitation. Patient history revealed that Tom is a photojournalist for a travel magazine. In the past 30 days Tom has traveled on assignment to Italy, London, and France.

Tom is very careful not to drink local water when traveling and he only eats well cooked foods. He did mention being bit by a ferret on the street of France. Other than shrieking at Tom’s glass of water, the animal seemed fine and the owner took it away after the incident. Tom did not seek medical care because he thought it would be too complicated to deal with while overseas and the bite was very small. He does have pain and itching at the site of the animal bite.

Lab tests on Tom’s blood did not show the presence of any gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria

Based on the information presented in the case study, answer the following question:

What information from the patient’s symptoms contributed to your decision? Did this information allow you to rule out any other possible culprits? What information from the patient’s history and/or lab samples that contributed to your decision? Support your answers with factual evidence and logical reasoning.
