Description
The plaintiff, Donald D. Turek, has appealed from the order of the trial court granting the defendants' motions for summary
judgment and dismissing the plaintiff's cause of action with prejudice. The defendants are Saint Elizabeth Community Health
Center; Robert Gillespie, M.D.; and Pat Burgher Gillespie, a registered nurse. The plaintiff, who was born August 18, 1966, was admitted to the St. Elizabeth burn treatment unit on October 26, 1978, with
second and third degree burns over 58 to 68 percent of his body. He remained in that hospital through March 31, 1979. While
he was a patient at St. Elizabeth, the plaintiff was under the care of defendant Dr. Gillespie and was also treated by defendant
Nurse Gillespie. The plaintiff alleges that during the course of his treatment at St. Elizabeth, Nurse Gillespie performed
certain procedures upon him which were beyond the scope of her training and authority as a registered nurse. These procedures
included the insertion of a catheter into his subclavian artery, the administration of an anesthetic, and the use of a dermatome
to perform skin grafting.
