Charouleau v. Charity Hospital of Louisiana

Opinion of the Court

In re: Edward J. Charouleau, applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Parish of Orleans. 319 So.2d 464.

Writ denied. On the facts found by the Court of Appeal, the result is correct.

Dissenting Opinion

TATE, J.,

I respectfully dissent. Charity Hospital is not excluded from the medical institutions subject to regulations for safe and adequate treatment of patients in hospitals under La.R.S. 40:1201 et seq., see 2102, subd. A and 2109. Further, it was error to deprive the plaintiff of the expert testimony of the out-of-state physician.

DIXON, J., dissents from the denial. CALOGERO, J., dissents.
