Hospital Visitors: Hospital Not
Liable For Fainting Watching Nasogastric Tube Insertion
Quick Summary: When a family member is watching, the
hospital has the legal responsibility to inform the family member what procedure is about
to be performed. At that point the danger of becoming queasy or fainting if the family
member stays and watches is open, obvious and known to the family member, according to the
Court of Appeals of Kansas, and the hospital has no duty to warn the family member he or
she may have an adverse reaction. More references
