Description

CAMPBELL, J. This is an action for malpractice of a physician in the setting and care of a fractured arm. The defendant first put the injured member in splints and then directed the taking of X-rays which disclosed a fracture. Thereupon the injured part was put in a plaster cast for thirty-six days. When the cast was removed a deformity existed. The only testimony claimed to show negligence or lack of proper care was that of the plaintiff, in which she said the defendant made the following statements when the cast was removed and the result was disclosed, viz.: "Oh, well, dont worry, he says, it will come along. He said, We all make mistakes. It will come along all right. He said, I wish it was that way. Just kept talking that way. So he said, Well, of course, it is all -- we all make mistakes. We are human. I realize it is my fault, but dont worry, I will make it as straight as a stick in a little while, a week or ten days, I believe, is the way he always expressed it to me."
