Rose Hernandez's infant died shortly after delivery at the Happy
Birthing Center. Discovery will reveal the following facts:
The death of the infant is attributable to the negligence of Dr.
Jones, the physician who attended Ms. Hernandez at the Center
during delivery. The death was caused in part by the infant's
aspiration of meconium into the lungs. Although the Center is
equipped to suction meconium and other materials from a newborn's
throat, it is not equipped to perform the tracheotomy required to
suction meconium from the lungs. To receive a tracheotomy, the
infant would have to be transferred to the hospital. Even if the
infant had been transferred, it would probably have suffered brain
damage due to oxygen deprivation before the procedure could have
been undertaken.
Dr. Jones had a spotless record, but over the two weeks preceding
the incident he had appeared at the hospital smelling of alcohol
and evidencing other symptoms of intoxication. He was apparently
having marital problems at the time. Nurses at the hospital had
reported this behavior to their supervisor and had watched the
physician's work very carefully. The nurse supervisor had reported
the situation to the Chief of OB/GYN, who said he would look into
it. Ms Hernandez noticed the smell of liquor on Dr. Jones breath
during labor, and was upset by this. DR. Jones has also dropped his
malpractice coverage, a fact of which the hospital is aware.
The nurse midwife at the Center had observed that Dr. Jones acts
were questionable, but she had not intervened because she knew of
his excellent reputation. She knew that doctors were resentful of
the independence of nurse midwives at the Center, and she believed
she could compensate for his mistakes during delivery. By the time
she realized the extent of Dr. Jones intoxication and took over the
delivery, it was too late.
In exploring the relationship between Hapless Hospital and the
Happy Birthing Center a complicated connection emerges. The
hospital found that it needed to increase its patient census. It
participated in the establishment of the Happy Birthing Center. The
hospital receives a percentage of the profits of the Center.
The Center is located in a former convent one block from the
Hospital. The hospital owns the building and rents it to the
Center. This particular birthing center, according to its
promotional literature, offers both a home-like setting for the
delivery of your child and the security of the availability of
back-up physicians and hospital care. The Center is separately
incorporated and has its own Board of Directors. It is totally self
governing and is solely responsible for staff, provision of
equipment, and policy.
The phone listing in the Yellow Pages describes the Hospital as a
cooperating hospital that will provide care for mother and child if
needed. Hapless has a contract with the Center requiring the Center
to establish a screening program that will exclude high-risk
patients and that doctors attending patients at the Center have
privileges at Hapless Hospital. The Hospital allows employees of
the Center to participate in the hospital s group health and
pension plans. Nurses from the Hospital moonlight at the Center.
When they do so, they receive a separate paycheck from the
Center.
Although the Center's by-laws provide for a committee to review the
qualifications of physicians who attend at the Center, it has
instead relied on the hospital's review of qualifications because
the Hospital has a better opportunity to review credentials and
performance. It is not clear that the Hospital is aware of this;
while it does notify the Center of the suspension, denial or
revocation of privileges (pursuant to the above mentioned
contract), it does not provide the Center with information used in
investigations.
Ms. Hernandez wishes to sue for damages for the death of her
infant. Who, if anyone should she sue? Describe your theories based
on the information discovered. Against whom, or which entity, if
any, would she likely recover and why?

imagine you have graduated from UCD, you have been hired by a business as a Manager over a specific function. You have six direct reports assigned to you. Today is your first day on the job. Your Manager has asked to meet with you late today – she has stated that in your meeting late this afternoon she would like to have you review your plan with her on how you will lead and manage your department. You know that getting off to a strong start is very important. You have only briefly met your direct reports, but have gained a strong sense that they are eager to get to know you and provide direction going forward. You know that their last manager was as one of them stated to you, “a real disaster!”
Consider the following questions and use them as you build the plan you will review with your manager later today:

“Do you believe our unconscious reactions come out of a locked room that we can’t ever truly see inside? Can we ever know ourselves wholly and understand the motivations and reasons behind our every move? If an individual claims to completely know how her mind works, is she incredibly self-aware or is she delusional? And if we can’t ever get behind that door and fully know why we react the way we do, is psychiatry an overpriced and limited exercise?” (Gladwell, 2005, p. 13)
