A hospital may be held vicariously liable for a doctor’s negligent treatment of a patient at the hospital if the doctor is a hospital employee or the hospital’s ostensible agent. Mejia v. Community Hospital of San Bernardino (2002) 99 Cal.App.4th 1448; Whitlow v. Rideout Memorial Hospital (2015) 237 Cal.App.4th 631. Here, the trial court correctly granted the hospital summary judgment because the doctor who botched her surgery on plaintiff was not an employee of the defendant hospital and because plaintiff had reason to believe that the doctor was not the hospital’s agent. Before the operation, plaintiff had become the doctor’s patient and consulted her multiple times at her office which was not in or near the hospital.
