DOCTRINE OF FORESEEABILITY
FELLOW SERVANT
RESCUE DOCTRINE
E.g. objects left in a patients body, injury to a healthy part of the body,
removal of the wrong part of the body, teeth dropped down the windpipe,
burns, disability resulting from injection of drugs to the body, infection
resulting from unsterilized instruments, fracture on a newly-delivered
baby born by breech presentation, IM injections which resulted to leg
paralysis.
CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE
This applies only to actions performed by the employee within the scope
of the employment.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK
When one assumes voluntary risk of injury from a known danger, then
he is barred from recovery; that person who asserts and was injured is
not regarded injured.
