Situation
▸ A law was passed requiring all nurses to promote the use
of contraceptives to their clients regardless of their
personal beliefs on the use of contraceptive. The law
provides that, if a nurse’s personal belief is against the use
and prescription of contraceptives, she should
immediately refer such client to another accessible
healthcare provider. Otherwise, the nurse shall incur
criminal liability for violating his duty to refer.

v.
COURT OF APPEALS
G.R. No. 122445, November 18, 1997
FACTS
Fifteen (15) to (30) thirty after Drs. Madrid and Carillo left
the hospital, Catherine suffered convulsions and cardiac
arrest. Responding to the situation, Dr. Madrid went back
to the hospital and called a cardiologist to contain
Catherine’s post-surgical complications.
FACTS
The cardiologist informed Catherine’s parents that she
suffered severe infection which went up to her head.
Thereafter, Dr. Madrid and the cardiologist called in the Dr.
Carillo who was not readily found. When he finally
appeared at 10:30 in the evening, he was evidently in a bad
temper, commenting critically on the dextrose bottles
before ordering their removal.
FACTS
When Catherine remained unconscious until noontime the
next day, a neurologist examined her and she was
diagnosed as comatose. Three (3) days later, Catherine died
without regaining consciousness.
FACTS
Catherine’s parents filed a criminal case for simple
negligence resulting to homicide against Drs. Madrid and
Carillo.
ISSUE
Whether the Dr. Carillo is
guilty of simple
negligence resulting in
homicide?
RULING
Yet, the doctor's order sheet xxx did not contain this
precaution but instead directed a reader to apply the drug
only when warranted by the circumstances. xxx It must
be observed that the instruction was open-ended in that
some other individual still had to determine if
circumstances existed warranting administration of the
drug to the patient.
