Document Summary
Welcome to osgoode law school: marco, a trained and licensed plumer, carelessly installed a steam heater in danika"s restaurant, and as a result, danika was seriously burned when a heater pipe exploded. He uses a number of sponges that did not have strings or tapes attached for easy retrieval from roja"s throat. Vaisally, the attending nurse did not do a sponge count before and after the operation. On completion of the surgery, henock, the anesthetist present suggested that all of the sponges may not have been removed. Matthew made a cursory search in rojas throat with this forceps and when he found none, did nothing more to determine the number used. The concept of foreseeability: foreseeability as an element of tort liability was a difficult concept for the courts to apply, a standard that has to be determined before damages for an unintentional act could be determined.
