Declaratory Judgment
This matter came to be heard by the Court under certain extraor-
dinary conditions concerning the emergency care and treatment of a
minor child born at the Bloomington Hospital.
The Court was contacted at his residence by representatives of
the Bloomington Hospital. On the basis of representations made by
those representatives, the Court quickly determined that an extreme
emergency existed.
The Court further determined that the Judge of the Monroe
Circuit Court had been contacted concerning this matter and was
unable to attend the emergency hearing, and the Court personally
contacted the judge of the Monroe Circuit Court who directed this
Court to proceed with hearing. Thereafter, hearing was held on the
Sixth Floor of the Bloomington Hospital at approximately 10:30 P.M.,
Saturday, the 10th day of April, 1982.
The following persons were present: John Doe, natural father of
Infant Doe, with counsel, Andrew C. Mallor, Esquire; Maggie Keller,
Gene Perry, Administrative Vice-Presidents of Bloomington Hospital;
Dr. Walter L. Owens, Dr. William R. Anderson, Dr. Brandt L. Ludlow,
obstetricians admitted to practice in the State of Indiana with privi-
leges at Bloomington Hospital, Doctor Owens being the obstetrician in
attendance at delivery at Infant Doe; Dr. Paul J. Wenzler, family prac-
titioner with pediatric privilege at Bloomington Hospital and who has
attended to Mr. and Mrs. Doe's other two children after their birth; Dr.
James J. Schaffer and Dr. James J. Laughlin, pediatricians holding
pediatric privileges at Bloomington Hospital. (Mrs. Doe was physically
unable to attend.)
