In their Medical Malpractice column, Thomas A. Moore and Matthew Gaier write: As the practice of medicine and the provision of health care continue to evolve, it has become increasingly common that diagnosis, care and treatment are provided by other health-care professionals, such as nurse practitioners and midwives, who are required to collaborate with physicians. But that collaboration can lead to liability for physicians who fail to provide proper supervision or oversight.

In their Medical Malpractice column, Thomas A. Moore and Matthew Gaier write that although New York does apply a limited discovery rule when a foreign object is left in a patient's body, it has been construed so narrowly as to render it inapplicable to a broad variety of objects left in patients during surgical and other invasive procedures. However, in a recent decision the Court of Appeals has signaled that the restrictions imposed on this ameliorative rule have their limits.

In their Medical Malpractice column, Thomas A. Moore and Matthew Gaier write that where applicable, the continuous treatment doctrine permits medical malpractice actions to be brought beyond the statutory two-and-a-half year period after the malpractice. Recent decisions demonstrate that whether the ongoing treatment is related to the original condition remains a significant factor in determining the applicability of the doctrine.
