Kentucky Supreme Court December 18, 1997, 96-SC-420-DG, 96-SC-1063-DG (Kovacs v. Freeman)

*253

GRAVES, Justice.

The issue in this case concerns the extent of authority granted by a hospital consent form to a surgeon who was not listed in the form. The Pulaski Circuit Court entered a judgment based on a jury verdict in favor of Dennis Lane, M.D. and Andrew Kovacs, M.D., finding that Dr. Kovacs had the oral consent of Appellee, George Freeman, to perform surgery.
