BRUNE V. BELINKOFF.
354 Mass. 102, 235 N.E.2d 793 (1968)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an action of tort for malpractice.
FACTS: Brune (P) had a child under the care of Belinkoff (D). During childbirth, D gave P
an 8mg dosage of pontocaine. Eleven hours later, P tried to get out of bed. P slipped and
fell, suffering serious injuries. P sued for malpractice, claiming D should have only have
given her 5mg of pontocaine. D claimed that the difference in dosage compared with other
places, such as New York and Boston, was because they use different obstetrical procedures
in New Bedford. The dosage administered by D was the amount customary in New Bedford. The
trial court ruled for D. P excepted to her jury instruction not being entered and for one of
the D's instructions.
