Medical Malpractice columnists Thomas A. Moore and Matthew Gaier write: When someone is admitted to a hospital as the patient of a private attending physician, the hospital may still be subject to vicarious liability under the doctrine of ostensible agency for physicians who become involved in the patient's care during the admission. This question commonly arises with anesthesiologists and radiologists, although it may also apply where any physician is assigned by a hospital to provide a service or a consultation.

In their Medical Malpractice column, Thomas A. Moore and Matthew Gaier write: While it has long been recognized that a hospital is vicariously liable for the physicians it assigns to patients where a patient seeks treatment not from a particular physician, but from the hospital, some decisions have strictly imposed all of the requirements of ostensible agency. However, this circumstance is not purely one of ostensible agency. Rather, it is a distinct exception that involves aspects of both ostensible agency and agency-in-fact.
