Louisiana Court of Appeal February 18, 2000, No. 98 CA 669 (Samuel v. Baton Rouge General Medical Center)

lead-opinion

DGUIDRY, J.

This appeal challenges a trial court’s finding that a doctor committed malpractice by giving his patient inadequate discharge instructions. Finding this determination to be neither manifestly erroneous nor clearly wrong, we affirm.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

This malpractice litigation stems from the treatment of Alfred Samuel by Dr. Terry Jones, a vascular surgeon.
