While we place our trust in the hands of medical professionals to provide quality, timely, and meticulous medical care, such care is not always provided. In fact, sometimes healthcare professionals deviate from the standard of care that is required of them. In order to support a claim of medical malpractice, the plaintiff must prove the following: 4 Although a hospital's actual knowledge of an emergency medical condition will generally be based on the appropriate medical screening examination required by United States Code section 1395dd(a), most federal courts have concluded that EMTALA requires only that the hospital provide uniform medical screening to all patients who come to the emergency department. (See, e.g., Gatewood v. Washington Healthcare Corp. (.1991) 933 F.2d 1037, 1041A hospital fulfills the �appropriate medical screening' requirement when it conforms � its treatment of a particular patient to its standard screening procedures.; Baber v. Hospital Corp. of America (4th Cir.1992) 977 F.2d 872, 879-880 EMTALA establishes a standard which will of necessity be individualized for each hospital, since hospital emergency departments have varying capabilities.; Roberts v. Galen of Virginia, Inc., supra, 525 U.S. at p. -, 119 at p. 687 & fn. 1 noting that some federal courts have required an improper motive in medical screening claims, but express ing no opinion on the question.) For this reason many federal courts have observed that a medical screening claim under EMTALA is not a substitute for state malpractice actions, although there may arise some areas of overlap between federal and local causes of action. (Gatewood v. Washington Healthcare Corp., supra, 933 F.2d at p. 1041; see also, e.g., Holcomb v. Monahan (11th Cir.1994) 30 F.3d 116, 117.) Because Barris's medical screening claim was dismissed, we express no opinion on the question whether such a claim would be subject to limitations on damages under MICRA.

claims has a utility beyond that of being a point for comparison The Cunninghams further assert that the doctors were obligated to provide services twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week to the hospital. This was simply a term included in Thomas Hospital's contracts with Delphi and Hospitalist Medicine. Physicians providing the services for which they are contractually obligated does not establish control by the hospital over said physicians. Past Non-Economic Damages mean those damages arising in the past from non-financial harm such as pain, mental anguish, inconvenience, physical impairment and disfigurement.

There have been no reports of injuries. The driver of a Philadelphia-to-Toronto double-decker Megabus that crashed into a low overpass in upstate New York last year, killing four passengers and injuring 20, was charged Monday with criminally negligent homicide.

From that perspective, state Constitutions are separate sources of individual freedoms, State v. Schmid, 84 N.J. 535, 553 (1980), and restrictions on the exercise of power by the Legislature. State v. Saunders, 75 N.J. 200, 225-26 (1977) (Schreiber, J., concurring). By contrast, the United States Constitution is a grant of enumerated powers to the federal government. Id. See Gangemi v. Berry, 25 N.J. 1 (1957). See generally "State Constitutional Rights," supra, 95 at 1326-28. Thus, in appropriate cases, the individual states may accord greater respect than the federal government to certain fundamental rights. Although the state Constitution may encompass a smaller universe than the federal Constitution, our constellation of rights may be more complete. c.

2. Contracts between a public utility water company and its consumers are subject to modification in respect of their duration as well chanroblesvirtualawlibrary Plainly, the Pharmacy Board's new Rule could be interpreted as imposing a wide-sweeping burden on Texas pharmacists to perform their due diligence and ensure they are not filling prescriptions that do not meet the appropriate medical standard of care or were prescribed without an in-person physical examination. The obvious target of the new regulation is pharmacists who are seen as functioning as the tail end of a pill mill whether such prescriptions are generated online or at a physician's office. Pharmacists who fill large quantities of pain medications, particularly the popular chronic pain cocktails, or other suspect drugs such as cough syrup should be aware that under the new rule they could risk a disciplinary action by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy if a reasonable person would have known the prescriptions were not medically valid or were issued without a proper examination or physician-patient relationship. It is not simply enough that the pharmacist can disclaim actual knowledge; if a reasonable pharmacist should have known or suspected they were being asked to fill such prescriptions, they are potentially vulnerable to a disciplinary action by the Pharmacy Board. In such a circumstance, an insurer may provide the required defense under a reservation of its rights to later assert its objections to coverage as to one or more of the claims alleged against its insured. (Blue Ridge Ins. Co. v. Jacobsen (2001) 25 Cal.4th 489, 497-498, 1062d 535, 22 P.3d 313.) It may also reserve its right to seek reimbursement from the insured of any defense costs that can be attributed solely to claims that were not potentially covered under the policy. (Buss, supra, 16 Cal.4th at pp. 50-53, 652d 366, 939 P.2d 766.) An insurer, however, may not seek reimbursement from an insured of defense costs attributable to claims that were at least potentially covered, because the duty to defend such claims was part of the insurance policy bargain. (Id. at pp. 49-50, 652d 366, 939 P.2d 766.) An insurer has no contractual duty to defend claims for which there is no potential for coverage, and defense costs that are solely attributable to such claims are not part of the bargained-for exchange. (Id. at p. 51, 652d 366, 939 P.2d 766.) An insurer's right to reimbursement of those defense costs is implied in law to avoid unjust enrichment. (Ibid.) An insured could have no objectively reasonable expectation to retain the windfall of payment for the defense of claims for which there was no potential coverage. (Id. at pp. 51, 59, 652d 366, 939 P.2d 766.)

My wife made an appointment for my 7 year old son with our HMO family insurance plan at Lovett dental. She was told he would be covered. We showed up to the appointment, and it turned out we were given the wrong time, only off by half an hour - not too bad. Then we were told that since we were seeing the "specialist" (pediatric dentist) our insurance wouldn't cover the visit. We said with the Lovett family dentist group, we would be happy for my son to see a general dentist. He just needed a regular checkup anyways. They said they didn't have any general dentist who would be able to see a child. Even for a regular checkup! That should be part of any dentist's training! 15 Guz and McCaskey involved age discrimination claims and Reeves v.
