Description
Page 941 The plaintiff, Ilona Hirn, filed a medical malpractice action against Edgewater Hospital (hereinafter hospital) and Dr. Forough Parsa for injuries incurred as the result of a renal arteriography performed by Dr. Parsa at defendant hospital. After the jury returned verdicts for both defendants and the trial court denied her post-trial motions for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict and a new trial, the plaintiff filed the present appeal. The following errors are urged on appeal: (1) the trial court erred in failing to direct a verdict for the plaintiff against the hospital; (2) the trial court erred in failing to direct a verdict for the plaintiff against Dr. Parsa; (3) the scope of expert testimony permitted in medical malpractice cases deprived the plaintiff of her right to a trial by jury; (4) numerous evidentiary errors required a new trial of this cause; and (5) conduct of Dr. Parsas counsel was so prejudicial that it denied plaintiff a fair trial.
