The ER physician has no legal standing in a nursery.
The nursery nurses, the OBGyn, and the neonatologist are above the ER physician in the chain of command.
If the Nursery nurse, the neonatologist, and the OBGyn were in the ER, then the ER physician is at the top of the chain of command.
Therefore, what the ER physician has to say about policies and procedures in the nursery is irrelevant. You cannot get testimony from him as a physician witness, only witness testimony as a friend.
Thanks, kaila, I wasn’t aware of any of that. So Haydock had no authority in the situation and was merely acting as a family friend.
