    In Gifford v. Mateka, an unreported case from out of Division III, the defendants moved for summary judgment, in part, because they claimed the statements of one of the plaintiff’s experts, a toxicologist, were insufficient since he was not qualified to give medical opinions. No. 25886-2, 2001 WL 819067, at *4 (Wash. Ct. App. 2001). The court held that the toxicologist “was qualified to link exposure to mold with the type of respiratory and other harm [plaintiff] alleged in her complaint.” Id. The court also held that although the case involved obscure matters beyond the comprehension of a lay juror, “it does not follow that only testimony by a medical doctor can suffice.” In fact, the court held that “given the particular source of harm alleged in the complaint—mold—the expertise of a toxicologist was required to clarify an obscure factors.”…

    If Dr. Arafiles did not possess surgical privileges, it should not have been permissible for him to perform a skin graft. Because he performed a skin graft without surgical privileges, his improper surgical procedure with a skin graft was supposed to be documented in peer review records to address the concerns for the poor quality and safety issues and determinations of Dr. Arafiles credentials. The peer review records are important evidence and are often used by plaintiffs in litigation to identify medical negligence. For instance, in chapter 4, on page 77, peer review was used in Adams v. St. Francis Regional Medical Center case to determine medical negligence of a nurse who was responsible for the death of plaintiff’s daughter (Brodnik, Rinehart-Thompson, & Reynolds, 2013).…

    Sunshine and Sunset Laws

    • 948 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Sunshine laws created by different states are based on the Sunshine Act passed by Congress in 1976. In the United States, for the first time, the Sunshine Act requires that “multi-headed federal agencies” or those agencies that are headed by a committee instead of an individual such as the Securities and Exchange Commission hold their meetings regularly in public (Bardes et al., 2011, p. 423). As the term implies, the government wants more transparency, as well as, give interested parties the opportunities to observe or participate if possible. Moreover, these agencies are also required to provide public notice of these meetings in advance to allow people to take note of the agenda and be able to prepare questions if they have any. According to the Act, the term “meetings” encompass any formal or informal gathering of agency members and this includes even conference calls (Bardes, et al., 2011). The only exceptions to this rule of openness are meetings pertaining to court cases and personnel issues, among others. Currently, sunshine laws exist at all levels of government in practically every state. Nevertheless, each state has its own version of sunshine laws. For example, in California, open meetings must be held within the boundaries of the jurisdiction of the organization (BoardSource, 2010).…
