The Captain of the Ship Doctrine was originally set forth in McConnell v. Williams, 361 Pa. 355, 65 A.2d 243 (1949) and has agency considerations as its base. The essential question is whether one is subject to the control of another not only to the work to be done but also the manner of performing it. Furthermore, it has been consistently held that a physician may be simultaneously the agent of a hospital and another physician although the employment is not joint. Yorston v. Pennell, 397 Pa. 28, 153 A.2d 255 (1959). However, the master must have control not only over the agent but over the work and the performance thereof before liability can be extended to him. Collins v. Hand, 431 Pa. 378, 246 A.2d 398 (1968). And the determination of whether a resident was the servant of a senior surgeon is a factual issue to be determined by the trier of fact. Thomas v. Hutchinson, 442 Pa. 118, 275 A.2d 23 (1971).
Since hospitals no longer have the benefit of charitable immunity the ordinary rules of agency apply to those institutions. Flagiello v. Penna Hospital, 417 Pa. 486, 208 A.2d 193 (1965). In Tonsic v. Wagner, 458 Pa. 246, 329 A.2d 497 (1974), the court considered whether both a hospital and the attending surgeon could both be liable in tort.
"We conclude that agency law principles applicable to others should also apply to hospitals and operating surgeons. Hospitals, as well as operating surgeons, owe a *398 duty to the patient. If that duty is breached under circumstances from which a jury could reasonably conclude that the negligent party was at the same time the servant of two masters, both masters may be liable."
The doctor gave a shot of penicillin to the patient who had already told told the Doctor he was allergic to it. Dr. Pennell never bothered to read his file so didn't know this info and gave it to him anyway.
AND IT IS STILL TRUE TODAY!!!!
Mr. Ellis DIDN'T TAKE ANY MONEY [ HE WASN'T PAID ] to bring the suit. THAT'S HOW HE GOT IT STARTED.
Even under this Pennsylvania rule, however, where the case involves a servant who is the general employee of a hospital but who is also the special employee of a surgeon for certain acts, only the surgeon can be held liable in practice because the hospital is immune from suit,6 although in other states the charitable immunity doctrine has been repudiated or at least broken down.
As more and more classrooms are wired, the Internet provides teachers a new gateway to relevant, diverse and engaging content. The Educational CyberPlayGround offers an interdisciplinary guide to using the Internet to deliver online curriculum. It provides comprehensive learning resources for different cultural and ethnic groups, and also for those with different approaches to learning. When Philadelphia resident Karen Ellis recalls the memorable teachers in her life, she likes to talk about how they gave her the "building blocks of how the world works."
Most Memorable Teachers the ones who gave me the first "building blocks of how the world works and the skills to negotiate for the rest of my life." Armond Mednick and Fanabel Kremens (RIP 3/1/2015 was 95 years old.).
