Dec 16, 2015OUTCOME: The failure to warn gives rise to a cause of action for medical malpractice by non-patients
School bus driver seriously injured when the bus he was driving was struck head on by a person just discharged from the hospital under the influence of narcotic pain medication. The hospital failed to ... warn the patient not to operate a vehicle. The lower trial level court and intermediate appellate court in New York dismissed the case by the bus driver against the hospital.
