Dr. Frame's Negligence Case Summary

This hypothetical case Einaugler (Mr. Frost) v. Supreme Court of New York can be view as a non-intentional tort. Intentional tort is a deliberate act. The proof of intent can be attributed to the defendant’s intended act of his or her behavior. This is a case of negligence and negligence as defined by (Pozgar, 2016) is the failure to act when there is a legal duty to act, a wrong that involves a willful act that violates another’s interest and led to emotional distress as seen in this case. Dr. Frame’s negligence is a “form of conduct caused by heedlessness or carelessness that constitutes a departure from the standard of care generally imposed on reasonable members of society (Pozgar, 2016, p.65). Dr. Frame ordered a nurse to pump

Did Dr. Frame read the Mr. Frost’s medical history? Did he reviewed his notes before treating the patient? Mr. Frost was transferred to the hospital for a specific reason; to receive kidney transfer from his twin brother James. So how could the attending physician not be aware of his medical history? And if Dr. Frost had failed to do this, what about the nurse? When the patient was transferred to Greater works hospital for treatment of renal disease, did the previous facility not give any report about Dr. Frost medical condition? And going back to the nurse who administered the feeding solution through the Mr. Frost catheter implant, was the nurse aware of the fact that it was a catheter implant?

When Mr. Frost was transferred to the hospital, why did the hospital delayed treatment till the next day? Did Greater works hospital notified EGWH that the patient was having an emergency? Mr. Frost was supposed to be transferred to EGWH intensive care unit (ICU) per his symptoms. Dr. Frame would have emphasized on this.

Frost was transferred to Greater works hospital (GWH) for a specific reason; kidney transplant, which implies, the hospital was quite aware of his medical condition. For such a horrific error to have occurred, implies those involved were not knowledgeable of Mr. Frost’s medical condition or just negligence. Care should be safe, GWH should avoid injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them. I will get into the details of this case by conducting an inquiry. My inquiry will include: whether the hospital got a report of Mr. Frost upon admission and if Mr. Heat communicated details about the patient to the hospital. Then I will be taking appropriate steps with the staff involved and at the same time, I will try to reach an arbitration with Mrs.
