Hospital Liability: Drawing a Fine Line with Informed Consent in Today's Evolving Health Care Arena	2004	26	.pdf	application/pdf	12583	831	58	On August 28, 2002, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, in a split decision, drew a fine line concerning hospital liability for lack of informed consent.3 In a case of first impression, Valles v. Albert Einstein Medical Center, the court held that as a matter of law, a medical facility lacks the control over the manner in which the physician performs his duty to obtain informed consent so as to render the facility vicariously liable. This note will discuss the background and evolution of hospital liability related to the doctrine of corporate liability and the history of informed consent.	cache/ihlr-16451.pdf	txt/ihlr-16451.txt
