Wunderly, K., Aplt v. Saint Luke's Hosp.

Summary

Justice Donohue dissents, arguing that the majority’s reading of the Mental Health Procedures Act’s immunity provision improperly shields providers from liability for medical care unrelated to a patient’s mental illness. He contends that the pleadings do not show the treatment of the decedent’s bedsores was intended to facilitate recovery from mental illness and would reverse the affirmation of the judgment on the pleadings and remand for further proceedings.
