Heading: Nurse Perian Grimes

Text: Registered Nurse Perian Grimes was the admitting nurse for Lana Fox on February 27, 1986. Nurse Grimes testified that she remembered Lana Fox very well. According to Nurse Grimes, Mrs. Fox refused to sign the consent form because she objected to a clause in the form which authorized the hospital to dispose of severed tissues or specimens. Nurse Grimes left the room to call Dr. Smith at home, but Dr. Smith soon arrived at the hospital. Nurse Grimes did not remember if Dr. Smith visited Mrs. Fox before surgery. She did not remember being present in the room when Dr. Smith attended to Mrs. Fox in the room that morning. However, since Mrs. Fox eventually agreed to sign the consent form, this indicated to Nurse Grimes that Dr. Smith did, in fact, visit with Lana Fox in her room prior to surgery that morning.
