Blood Feud

Miami Daily Business Review

In what may be the first suit of its kind, an adult Jehovah's Witness who received a blood transfusion after he allegedly refused it on religious grounds is accusing the hospital of falsification of medical records and battery, based on "trespass" against his body. Claims based on provision of medical services without proper consent are typically framed as medical malpractice, but a battery claim could sidestep Florida's new med-mal damages cap.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
