Ziegler V. Superior Court

Petitioner is the plaintiff in a pending medical malpractice action in Pima County Superior Court. The real parties in interest, Rogers and DeVito, doctors of osteopathy specializing in cardiology, and Tucson General Hospital, an Arizona corporation which operates an osteopathic hospital in Tucson, are defendants. The basis of petitioner's claim against the doctors was the unnecessary implantation of a pacemaker. Her claim against the hospital was for breach of its duty to supervise and control the administration of medical services within its facility in that it was aware or should have been aware that the doctors were committing acts of malpractice and misconduct in their treatment of her.
