Dear editor:
Article in Sunday 6/1 edition: "Cheyenne Regional Medical Center sued for death of 7 year old child".
Their (CRMC) main argument centers on the fact that CRMC is not liable because the nurses and contractors who saw her were independent contractors of the hospital.
These 3rd party "contractors" were hired and paid by CRMC.
A person seeking medical attention at CRMC should have no concern for the standard of care received no matter if that care is received by an "employee" or "contractor."
If were that that easy to absolve themselves of liability, then why wouldn't CRMC limit their liability and have no "employees."
In that case, there would be no compelling reason to properly vet medical "professionals."
CRMC's position is preposterous and should be denied by WY Supreme Court.
Sincerely,
Bob and LInda Graff, Powell
