Description
Appellant (plaintiff) brought this action seeking to recover damages by reason of personal injuries by him suffered allegedly growing out of negligent operative procedures and treatment accorded him by respondents (defendants). The action is grounded upon alleged malpractice and negligence of respondent, Dr. Maurice K. Heninger, in the performance of a myelogram, and of respondents, Drs. C. D. and M. P. Packer, in the performance of a laminectomy and fusion operation, and upon the alleged negligent pre-operative and postoperative treatment and care accorded appellant by respondent physicians, and by Bingham County as owner and operator of Bingham Memorial Hospital. Respondents by their answers admitted the services rendered but denied any negligence in the premises. Respondent physicians affirmatively alleged that in the performance of the services they observed reasonable care and diligence, and exercised the degree of skill and learning possessed and exercised by members of the medical profession in similar localities, and that each acted in accordance with his best judgment. Respondent County alleged that as to its medical facilities offered appellant, it possessed and exercised the degree of care exercised by similar institutions in like localities. All of the respondents then alleged that there was no causal connection or proximate cause between the acts and services which they performed on behalf of appellant and his alleged injury or paralysis.
