William Martinez: A Case Study

242 Words1 Page

William Martinez was awarded $3 million by a Georgia jury in 2012. He was a 31 year old who complained to chest pain that could be felt radiating through his arm. He went to a cardiologist’s office where the cardiologist said he was at “high risk” of having a heart disease. A nuclear stress test was scheduled to be 8 days later. On the day before his test, Martinez engaged in sexual activity (a threesome) and died during the experience. His family decided to sue the cardiologist, claiming he wasn’t told to avoid exertional activity. They believe if Martinez would have been told otherwise, he would not have engaged in it. The cardiologist alleged that they had clearly informed Martinez to avoid any exertional activity until the test was completed.

Kaffee later utilizes an ad hominem fallacy in attacking the doctor’s character, saying “if you put a man with a serious coronary condition back on duty with a clean bill of health, and that man died from a heart related incident, you’d have a lot to answer for…” In this questioning, Kaffee is attacking the doctor’s for only worrying about himself and for lying on the stand. This redirects the trial away from the fact that the doctor said Santiago couldn’t have a coronary condition to the fact that the doctor might be lying to save himself. Because Kaffee

These assigned police officers were unable to find enough evidence to charge Dr. Harold Shipman.

Healthcare professionals like Dr. Pou, have taken the Hippocratic oath, and one of the promises made within that oath is “first, do no harm”. Hospital’s should not be so quick to make such an important decision of pressing charges to their faculty; more trust should be placed in them. In addition, she made it clear her intentions were just to ‘‘help’’ patients ‘‘through their pain,’’ on national television.
