	SAUNDERS & SCHMIELER, P.C.
		In order to fall under the shield of immunity, the individual must be a member or employee of a government hospital, emergency medical service council or agency that operates as a nonprofit group, the act must not constitute gross negligence, and the service must have been provided without a fee to the victim.
		The immunity provision requires that the individual render care in good faith, and that the acts or omissions not be intentionally designed to harm or constitute gross negligence which may result in harm to the person receiving the emergency assistance.
		However, this immunity is specifically limited to those non-medical Samaritans who, at the time of rendering the emergency care, are currently certified as having completed a course in first aid, advanced life saving or basic life support, and who perform the techniques and procedures consistent with their training.

	Interference to Medical Devices
		Medical devices are widely used outside the hospital and may be attached to, or implanted in, patients.
		The predominant international standard for the RF immunity of medical devices is the IEC Standard 601-1-2; the 1993 revision of this standard requires a minimum immunity level of 3 V/m in the 26-1000 MHz frequency range [20].
		Medical device manufacturers should design and test their products to ensure conformance with current RFI standards so that their devices are not excessively sensitive to RFI.

		Where Article V of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights requires all public employees of the three branches of the government of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to be accountable to the people at all times, this court is precluded from applying to this case the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act, G.L. c.
		Significantly, however, the Tort Claims Act withheld immunity from public employees (and retained immunity for public entities) where the acts complained of were "intentional," as opposed to negligent, G.L. c.

		The defendants moved to dismiss it, or, in the alternative, for summary judgment, arguing that they were entitled to absolute immunity or qualified immunity and that the complaint failed to allege their personal involvement in the conduct at issue.
		Critical to Barraco's immunity is the fact that his complained of behavior occurred entirely in his capacity as a doctor responsible for, and in the course of rendering medical treatment for, Cuoco.
		When Cuoco first met him, Salamack, a psychologist without a medical doctor's ability to prescribe drugs, told her that there was nothing he could do about her medication and warned her not to attempt to "manipulate the system." Then, after being notified that Cuoco was contemplating suicide, Salamack placed Cuoco on suicide watch.

		Treatment of the former would require the medical professional to inquire as to common conditions of pathology that would be aggravated by the intake of medication prescribed for the diagnosed illness.
		If, however, a medical professional diagnoses and treats a medical condition but fails to diagnose an independent but co-existent medical condition, and if treating the diagnosed medical condition does not exacerbate the undiagnosed co-existent condition, the medical professional would not be liable for the failure to diagnose the latter condition.
		As discussed, the medical records exhibits were referenced in the depositions of plaintiff's experts, the transcripts of which were used to support defendants' summary judgment motion; and those are the records that show the actions taken by the various defendants.

	Swinging pendulum of peer review immunity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		HCQIA was enacted by Congress in 1996 to provide immunity against civil litigation damages for physicians and hospitals engaging in professional peer review, and to restrict the ability of incompetent physicians to move from state to state without disclosure or discovery of prior damaging or incompetent medical performance.
		The Supreme Court also held that the "reasonable effort" prong of the four-part HCQIA immunity test is satisfied if the review activities are "sensible," but they do not have to be "flawless." Thus, the Supreme Court has countenanced due process violations and errors in the peer review process.
		Typically, after a physician is the subject of an adverse recommendation or an adverse action by a medical executive committee, the physician is given a fair hearing.

		This is a very important case on the extent that physicians employed by the state have governmental immunity from medical malpractice litigation.
		The central issue of this is analysis is that Alabama has a constitutional sovereign immunity, while that of the U.S. and many other states derives from the common law.
		Thus, unlike U.S., immunity law, the courts and legislatures are constrained in their creation of exceptions to immunity.

		The U.S. government and individual states protect themselves from prosecution by using a “sovereign immunity.” In short, it means that the government can do no wrong, and therefore cannot be held liable for its actions in a court of law.
		Additionally, much of the work is sub-contracted to the private sector, and immunity is usually extended to these businesses while under contract to the government.

		Every doctor and nurse who would be included in House Bill 134 and provided medical care without compensation during a declared state of emergency, would remain subject to the regulation of the Board of Medical Practice, the Division of Professional Regulation and the criminal laws of both the state and federal government.
		The only difference is that the proposed immunity for medical personnel would be limited to those acting without compensation during a declared emergency.
		The immunity sought is an effort to build a large enough medical corps to protect all 800,000 Delawareans in case of a declared emergency.

	Measles - Vaccine
		Although birth before 1957 is generally considered acceptable evidence of measles and rubella immunity, medical facilities should consider recommending a dose of MMR vaccine to unvaccinated workers born before 1957 who do not have a history of prior measles disease or laboratory evidence of measles immunity, and those without laboratory evidence of rubella immunity.
		Prematriculation vaccination requirements for measles immunity have been shown to significantly decrease the risk of measles outbreaks on college campuses where they are implemented and enforced.
		The decision to vaccinate with MMR depends on the benefits of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella and the risks for recurrence or exacerbation of thrombocytopenia after vaccination or during natural infection with measles or rubella.

	Stimulating innate immunity helps ease Crohn's disease symptoms
		Like throwing oil on a fire or prescribing a high cholesterol diet for heart patients, gastroenterologists traditionally have believed that it would not be a good idea to stoke up the body's immune system to treat Crohn's disease.
		Most treatments for Crohn's, an autoimmune disorder, are geared to suppress the immune response, but a new study demonstrates that stimulating innate immunity also is effective at improving symptoms in many patients with the intestinal disorder.
		Dieckgraefe says it is important to remember that powerful medications can sometimes have serious side effects, so studies must continue to ensure GM-CSF is not used in patients it might harm.

		He argues that because the MHSA expressly provides for medical malpractice actions, he was not required to follow the procedural provisions of the MTCA.
		It does not provide for or create the medical malpractice cause of action, but governs how such actions are to be brought.
		Therefore, claims of medical malpractice against governmental entities and their employees must be brought in accordance with the MTCA as well as the MHSA.

	Surprising discovery about natural immunity to pneumococcus
		Two related studies, led by Dr. Richard Malley of the Children's Hospital Boston Division of Infectious Diseases and Dr. Marc Lipsitch of the Harvard School of Public Health, suggest that natural protection from pneumococcal disease may derive from some previously unrecognized immune mechanism, which could possibly be exploited for a new vaccine.
		Looking at the first step of pneumococcal disease, colonization of the nose and throat, Malley and Lipsitch were able to elicit long-lasting immunity to pneumococcus in mice independently of any antibodies.
		The immunity appeared to arise from an effect on the immune system's CD4+ T-cells, since mice that lacked these cells did not develop immunity.

	WLJ - Court limits Good Samaritan immunity
		Mueller sued the Switlicks, alleging they were negligent in providing alcohol to their minor son, in failing to convey her to a hospital, in preventing her from obtaining medical treatment, and in failing to seek help for her.
		Reviewing legislative history and commentary, the court concluded that this definition serves the purpose of the statute, observing, “The decision to extend Good Samaritan immunity beyond medical professionals reflects the legislative determination that the removal of potential tort liability would encourage more individuals to provide immediate assistance when professional medical assistance is not available.
		This emphasis on immunity for initial and immediate care reflects the legislative purpose to encourage such services as are necessary to stabilize an injured individual’s health or impede an impending tragedy during the period before care can be transferred to professional medical personnel.”
