On three occasions in a nine-month period, radiologists from a radiology group interpreted x-rays and MRIs, but failed to diagnose a cancerous tumor on the plaintiff's spine. Id. at 193. The trial court ruled that the plaintiff's suit for medical negligence against the radiology group was time-barred by the two-year statute of limitations. Id. On appeal, the radiology group maintained that each interpretation of an x-ray or MRI is a discrete, intermittent service so the continuing care exception to the two-year statute of limitations did not apply. Id. at 194. The Supreme Court of Missouri disagreed, holding that while the radiology group's obligations are not as comprehensive as the treating physician's, its services are of such a nature to charge it with accurately interpreting and comparing x-rays and MRIs for the same complaint by the same patient about the same part of the body, three times within a nine-month period.

Cestrone v. Miller Orthopedic Clinic, et al. - An orthopedic surgeon and his practice group were charged with medical negligence in the administration of lidocaine during the performance of a hematoma block so that a fracture could be reduced.

Health care facilities, institutions and companies can be held responsible as well. A single medical malpractice case can have multiple responsible parties. Those who may be held responsible for medical malpractice include: Expert opinions are subject to restrictions and must abide by the rules laid down by the legal system, much more so than therapies. Cardinal errors in expert opinions for the statutory accident insurance (GUV) are sometimes mistakes which can be found in all forms of expert opinions but in some cases where special questions of social law and the statutory accident insurance are concerned. The first group of mistakes are the differences between the requirements of an expert and a therapist with respect to the certainty of expert opinions, the responsibility of the commissioning authority alone for the non-medical components of an expert opinion, the generally valid principle of only giving opinions on areas of proven expertise and the extremely important aspect of personal responsibility. The second group of mistakes involve specific questions for the statutory accident insurance, such as the principles of causality, the rules of evidence, the estimation of the consequences of an accident with respect to reduction in earning capacity (MdE) and the significance of pre-existing damage.

As provided for under the common-law doctrine of spoliation, when a party negligently loses or intentionally destroys key evidence, thereby depriving the non-responsible party of the ability to prove its claim, the responsible party may be sanctioned by the striking of its pleading. However, a less severe sanction is appropriate where the absence of the missing evidence does not deprive the moving party of the ability to establish his or her case. The determination of a sanction for spoliation is within the broad discretion of the court. Sometimes the action of the veterinarian is so obviously wrong that an expert is not needed to show malpractice. A court may allow a jury to make a judgment based upon the "common knowledge" of the community, or may apply the concept of "res ipsa loquitur." For example, in one case the veterinarian operated on the wrong horse. ( FN 49 ) In another a veterinarian left a needle in the neck of a horse and left the horse to do another task. The court stated, "moreover, where the very nature of the acts complained of bespeaks improper treatment and malpractice" a prima facie case may be established without the necessity of offering expert evidence to that effect. ( FN 50 ) In both cases, the expert testimony of another veterinarian was not necessary for the jury to find a violation of the law. But, when the issue before the court concerned the application of anesthetics to an animal, the court did not allow res ipsa loquitur to apply, as the understanding of such issues are not in the common knowledge of a layman. ( FN 51 ) While normally a common law concept, it can be authorized by statute. ( FN 52 ) Nicola joined Thorneycroft Solicitors in 1998 in order to pursue her ambition of a career in law.

But neither have we held that Montana prohibits all such regulation. If the Court in Montana, or later cases, had intended to remove land sales resulting from loan transactions entirely from tribal governance, it could have spoken plainly to that effect. Instead, Montana listed as examples of consensual relationships that tribes might have authority to regulate commercial dealing, contracts, and leases. 450 U. S., at 565. Presumably, the reference to leases includes leases of fee land. But why should a nonmember's lease of fee land to a member be differentiated, for Montana exception purposes, from a sale of the same land?

I'm wondering how much difference there is between what the surgeon would get paid from Aetna (+ your $600) and the $3200 that they are billing you.

As a minimum, since they did not give you correct information, they should be willing to settle for what they would have gotten if the coverage had been in place. Since you have the numbers, you can easily see if that would make much of a difference in your case.
