Perri v. Tassie

Rocco and Helen Perri brought separate actions against Dr. Ralph N. Tassie for malpractice. They charged that he failed to meet the standard of care required of physicians in Detroit and similar communities in performing an appendectomy on Mrs. Perri, in that the operation was improperly performed, that he did not properly close and suture the wound, and that he was derelict in his duty as to postoperative care. The cases were consolidated for trial but separate verdicts and judgments were rendered for the respective plaintiffs. The cases are brought here for review on one record.
