Rosalinda Valles, Individually and on Behalf of F.L., Her Minor Child
v.
Andrew Mueting, Joseph Liewer, Northwest Iowa Emergency Physicians, P.C., Amy Wingert and Kelly Ryder
Plaintiff in action alleging medical malpractice appeals from judgments entered in favor of defendants. Plaintiff contends the district court erred: (1) in its pretrial ruling that Iowa Code section 147.136 barred plaintiff from recovering damages for past medical expenses paid by another state’s Medicaid provider; (2) in entering a summary judgment in favor of two of the physician defendants on grounds there was insufficient evidence they had a physician-patient relationship with plaintiff; (3) in failing to instruct the jury on applicable specialist standards of care of family practice and emergency medicine with respect to two physician defendants; (4) by submitting to the jury the issue of the comparative fault of the hospital, which had settled prior to trial, without sufficient evidence of the hospital’s fault; and (5) in allowing defendants to present expert testimony which was not previously disclosed.
