Pazienti v. Whiteman CA2/3
Plaintiff and appellant Mauro Pazienti appeals the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant and respondent Paula J. Whiteman, M.D., an emergency room physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Cedars-Sinai), on his claim for medical negligence. Pazienti claims Dr. Whiteman negligently failed to diagnose and treat him for an impending heart attack while he was her patient in the emergency department. Because plaintiff has demonstrated triable issues of material fact exist on the question of whether Dr. Whiteman breached the duty of care, and Dr. Whiteman failed to meet her initial burden of production to demonstrate the nonexistence of a material fact regarding proximate cause, we reverse.
