Description

The unfortunate chain of events culminating in this appeal commenced on May 15, 1972, when appellant, Anna M. Raitt (the patient), underwent a laparoscopy tubal ligation, a birth control procedure performed by appellee Montague (the physician) at the Johns Hopkins Hospital (the hospital). As a result of complications which developed from that operation, she filed suit against appellees in the Baltimore City Court claiming damages for their alleged negligence. The case was removed to the Circuit Court for Montgomery County where the trial commenced on January 28, 1974, before a jury presided over by Judge Joseph M. Mathias, ultimately resulting in a directed verdict for both appellees. On appeal to the Court of Special Appeals, judgment was affirmed in Raitt v. Johns Hopkins Hospital, 22 Md. App. 196, 322 A.2d 548 (1974). We then granted a Writ of Certiorari.
