Description
The facts appear as follows: The White Mountain Communities' Hospital, Inc. Board of Directors, hereafter designated Hospital Board, desired to open a hospital at Springerville, Arizona. In order to take advantage of a promised donation of $10,000, it was necessary that the hospital be opened by July 1, 1960. Merle Harper was President of the Hospital Board. R. V. Vandiver was the hospital administrator hired by the Hospital Board. It was necessary to secure a medical doctor to operate the hospital. Since there was no medical doctor in the area which the hospital would serve, the Hospital Board instructed the administrator to contact and hire a doctor. The administrator contacted Dr. John Edward Fitzpatrick, who was a licensed medical doctor practicing in Clovis, New Mexico. Early in June of 1960, Dr. Fitzpatrick made application for a license to practice in Arizona. In the latter part of June, the doctor came from New Mexico to Springerville, but did not then enter the practice of medicine there. Sometime before July 1st he telephoned Dr. Roy Young a member of the Medical Board who was in Flagstaff, Arizona and asked what could be done to expedite the obtaining of a license or temporary license. Dr. Young told Dr. Fitzpatrick: "Don't touch a patient until you get your license." Thereafter Dr. Fitzpatrick continued to refrain from practicing medicine in Arizona, until July 1st.
