Description
This action was instituted by Gene Hall and his wife (appellants) against three doctors as individuals and St. Anthony Hospital
at Pocatello, Idaho. Hall charged each of the respondents with malpractice or negligence in their treatment of him for severe
facial injuries. It is now on appeal from the granting of a summary judgment in favor of the defendants and dismissing the
action by the trial court. On September 13, 1965, appellant was seriously injured while operating heavy equipment on a highway construction project
in Bannock County. Shortly after the accident appellant received emergency treatment at St. Anthony Hospital, Pocatello, from
Dr. G. A. Bacon, one of the respondents herein. Mr. Hall's injuries consisted of severe facial lacerations which were bleeding
profusely, a fractured nose, a fractured maxilla, a fracture of the zygomatic arch, a fracture of the lower orbit of the left
eye, as well as injuries to the back, pelvis and one leg. Initial emergency treatment consisted of procedures to control hemorrhaging
particularly in the area of the nose and nasal cavities. Dr. Bacon also sutured the lacerations and made a request for X-rays.
