Description
Callie Rose Wendland, who was suffering from several diseases, including multiple myeloma, died at the Davis County Hospital. Her estate and her husband sued the hospital and one of her treating doctors, Stephen Sparks, for failing to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following her respiratory arrest in the hospital. The court granted summary judgment against the plaintiff on the ground that he could not establish that the failure to administer CPR was the proximate cause of Callies death. Because this summary judgment deprived the plaintiff of a claim for lost chance of survival, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
