"owed him a duty to exercise reasonable care to prevent foreseeable injuries resulting from his participation."

Sad, but I don't see how this was a foreseeable injury. Guess that's why I'm not a lawyer.

Well, I am a lawyer, and quite frankly if the hospital actually requested that the husband help in the procedure, they will most likely be held liable. They have to assume that non-medical personnel might faint at the sight of a spinal needle being inserted. It is not unforseeable.

I guess I need to insist every visitor to my ER has a bicycle helmet on all the time to ensure they don't have a similar accident./sarcasm
