Description
[37 N.Y.2d 888 Page 889] Memorandum. The general rule that a hospital is not liable in negligence for the failure to erect bed rails, absent professional medical direction (Grace v Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hosp., 301 NY 660; Mossman v Albany Med. Center Hosp., 34 A.D.2d 263), does not apply where the hospital establishes a rule that bed rails were to be set up in all cases where the patient is over 50 years of age. This common-sense precaution adopted by the hospital in recognition of the frailities of older patients did not require medical direction. Only administrative action was needed to implement the rule.
