Description
Appellants, Paula Sinclair, a minor, by her parents and natural guardians, Joan Sinclair and Mark Sinclair, individually and in their own right, appeal from the Order of the Superior Court affirming the Order of the Court of Common Pleas which denied Appellants post-trial motions and entered judgment in favor of Appellees, Dr. Block and Philadelphia OB-GYN Group, Ltd. Appellants present two issues for our review. The first issue is whether the Superior Court erred in concluding that the use of forceps during delivery was not a surgical or operative procedure to which the "informed consent" doctrine applies. The second issue is whether the Superior Court erred in holding that the trial court properly charged the jury as to the "two schools of thought" doctrine. For the reasons that follow, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for a new trial.
