Description
Action by plaintiffs Jack McManus, guardian ad litem for James Lincoln, Jr., and James Lincoln, Sr. (father of James, Jr.),
to recover damages for alleged medical malpractice against defendants, W. F. Donlin, M.D., and James E. Dollard, M.D. On March 31, 1961, James Lincoln, Jr. (hereinafter "Jimmy"), was burned on his right leg between the ankle and knee as a
result of ignited gasoline. The Lincoln family then resided near Belleville, in Dane county, and on the day of the accident
Jimmy's mother took him to defendant Donlin's office in Belleville, where the doctor diagnosed the injury as a second-degree
burn. Dr. Donlin then continued to treat Jimmy throughout the month of April and part of the first week of May. During this
period plaintiff's condition and treatment were as follows: On March 31, 1961, there was great loss of skin substance on the
leg below the knee, but not a complete loss; there also were many blebs (areas filled with fluid) from the knee to the top
of the shoe. The wound did not appear to be infected, but Jimmy was given a shot of penicillin due to a chill, fever, and
lung congestion. On April 3d Dr. Donlin redressed the leg, which did not appear to be infected, but the lung congestion persisted.
On April 6th Dr. Donlin redressed the leg and it looked good. On April 9th the leg was redressed and looked good and the chest
was clear. On April 13th the leg was redressed and was not infected. On April 16th, 23d, and 27th the leg was redressed; up
to this time it appeared not infected and there was some growth of skin; the doctor had been watching for signs of healing.
On May 4th the wound was redressed; there was granulation tissue and the wound was infected. Jimmy then had a temperature
and Dr. Donlin advised the parents that it would be necessary to put Jimmy in a hospital and to get a specialist to skin-graft
the wound. The father followed this advice and took Jimmy to St. Mary's Hospital in Madison and told Dr. Dollard that he wanted
him to take care of his son. Thereafter Dr. Donlin did not care for Jimmy.
