California Court of Appeal March 17, 1942, Civ. 11779 (Pierce v. Paterson)

*488

JONES (B. C.), J. pro tem.

This appeal is from an order granting a new trial in a malpractice action against a physician and surgeon. Willis Pierce, a boy of ten years, sustained a crushing of the middle finger of his right hand by getting it caught in the door of his bath room. His mother, the respondent, promptly summoned the defendant to treat the injury.
