Dr. Webber opened a medical office in Sidney. The partnership brought suit to prevent him from carrying on his practice. Could they do this successfully?

A woman and a 15-year-old minor present at your office for medical care. The woman declares she is the minor’s conservator, and she shows you a court document that confirms this. Can she consent to medical treatment on behalf of the minor? How would you handle this situation?

How would you, as the nurse, support a family in the loss of a child?

Yes, I believe the courts should agree with the hospital, because the patients did not sign a consent form to release the medical records, if the patients are the one's complaining about the physician, I'm sure they would have asked them sign a consent form. The hospital should have sent out a letter to the 140 patients stating they were looking into the doctors performance of his surgeries, and ask if they are willing to release their medical records to the courts.
