A physician is the ostensible agent of a hospital if the hospital intentionally or negligently causes the patient to believe the physician is the hospital’s agent. (Mejia, at p. 1453, 1456; Civ.

But he concluded that the nursing facility and its staff had been negligent. Plaintiffs’ counsel later learned that another defendant’s experts asserted negligence by hospital doctors.

This prompted counsel to consult with a vascular surgeon, “who opined about the negligence of doctors during the first hospitalization.”

According to counsel’s declarations, after consulting a new expert who opined about negligence by doctors during the initial hospitalization, they believed Kadakia had been negligent, leading to the Doe amendment.

Professional negligence/medical malpractice claim In order to prevail on a claim for profession negligence against a doctor, a plaintiff-patient must establish the following elements: (1) the doctor was negligent; (2) the plaintiff-patient

A nonspecialist physician is negligent if he/she fails to use the level of skill, knowledge, and care in diagnosis and treatment that other reasonably careful physicians use in the same or similar circumstances.

A diagnosis given to a plaintiff by one doctor that is later refuted by subsequent medical professionals can place the injured party on notice of possible negligence by the original treating physician.

When the pain persisted after 60 days, she obtained a second opinion because she suspected the original doctor acted improperly. During a second surgery, the nature of the original doctor’s negligence was discovered.

Goffney (2008) 159 Cal.App.4th 316, 320 (Saxena), for example, the plaintiffs sued a doctor for negligence and medical battery.

The jury found the doctor was negligent and “performed a procedure on [the decedent] without his ‘informed consent.’ ” (Ibid.)

The doctor moved for JNOV on the battery cause of action on the basis that the special verdict did not include sufficient 7 findings to support it. (Id. at pp. 320, 323.)

The trial court granted Manson’s motion and thereafter barred Kirkland from introducing at trial evidence of medical negligence; it also refused to give the jury Kirkland’s proffered instruction that doctors are agents of 1 shipowners

In exercising this duty, the shipowner may be negligent “in improperly providing for a seaman’s care, including the negligent selection of a doctor . . . .” (Fitzgerald, at p. 679.)

If a ship carries a doctor, the shipowner is vicariously liable for the physician’s negligence. [Citation.] Similarly, the shipowner is liable for the negligence of an on-shore physician that it hires to treat a crewman.”

Cottage Health claimed appellant “cannot establish a prima facie case of medical negligence without the medical testimony of an expert who is qualified to address the standard of care for emergency medicine physicians.”

The jury apparently found this instruction confusing and questioned whether it was inconsistent with the question on the special verdict form asking it to calculate plaintiff’s damages, as caused by all three doctors.

In response, the court told the jury that after finding that Hansa was negligent and that his negligence was a substantial factor in causing plaintiff’s harm, “then you go on to the jury instruction on tort damages.

Hansa’s negligence — as opposed to damages caused by other physicians’ negligence which still would have occurred but for Dr. Hansa.”

The physician argued that section 2335, which provides the Board may take action against a licensee charged with “‘[r]epeated negligent acts,” required more than two acts of negligence. (Id. at 464.)
