NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a negligence action. Misericordia (D) appealed from a
judgment for Johnson (P) in an action alleging Ds were negligent in granting a physician
specialized surgical privileges.
FACTS: Johnson (P) sued Misericordia Community Hospital (D) for negligently hiring Dr.
Salinsky and allowing him to perform surgery on P's hip. P sought to introduce records and
testimony regarding the refusal of other hospitals to allow Dr. Salinsky on staff. P offered
evidence and testimony regarding restrictions imposed on the Dr. by other hospitals. The
trial court allowed the evidence over D's objection. D appeals. P contends that the evidence
is offered to prove that records existed regarding the competence of the Dr. and that D was
negligent in not inquiring about the content of those records.
