Description
1 This is a review of a published decision of the court of appeals, Preston v. Meriter Hospital, Inc., 2004 WI App 61, 271 Wis. 2d 721, 678 N.W.2d 347. Shannon Preston and Charles Johnson, in their personal capacity and as personal representatives of their son Bridons estate, filed a complaint asserting four claims against Meriter Hospital and the Wisconsin Patients Compensation Fund. The court of appeals affirmed the circuit courts grant of summary judgment to Meriter on all four claims, but it determined that the plaintiffs claim under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), 42 U.S.C. 1395dd (1994), really amounted to two claims, one of which was not addressed and thus dismissed by the circuit court. Preston petitioned this court to review the dismissal of this second EMTALA claim, that Meriter Hospital failed to give Bridon an appropriate medical screening examination in violation of 42 U.S.C. 1395dd(a).
