McHale v. Tenewitz

PEER REVIEW PRIVILEGE

McHale v. Tenewitz, No. 052003CA054153 (Fla. Cir. Ct.
Feb. 18, 2005)

The plaintiff
in a malpractice action sought information under Amendment 7, Florida’s newly
adopted constitutional amendment which gives patients the right to know about
past adverse medical incidents involving their physician. The Florida Circuit
Court found that the amendment was self-executing and clearly entitled the
plaintiff to the records.
