Description
RABINOWITZ, Justice. OPINION. Appellants Ute and David Priest brought suite against appellee Dr. Edwin Lindig for medical malpractice. After trial by jury, a verdict was returned in favor of Dr. Lindig. Judgment was entered on the verdict and this appeal followed. Appellant Ute Priest asserted that a chronic osteomyelitis condition in her lower left leg was caused by Dr. Lindig's failure timely to diagnose or detect a developing wound infection which occurred subsequent to Dr. Lindig's open reduction of a fracture on her left distal tibia. 1 Appellant advanced the further claim that after Dr. Lindig had notice of the wound infection he failed to treat the condition properly. 2 Dr. Lindig's position was that there were insufficient indicia and symptoms present to give notice of any infection in the area of the wound. Appellee further contended that after he had sufficient reason to suspect infection had developed, his treatment thereafter was non-negligent.
