In February of 1993 Mr. William Fiske, the Plaintiff-Appellant, went to the emergency room at Southern Ohio Medical Center, with the complaint of severe abdominal pain. Mr. Fiske informed the health care staff who was taking care of him that he was HIV positive. Some procedures were performed in the emergency room and Mr. Fiske was assessed by Dr. Robert Dale, the emergency room physician. Dr. Dale informed Mr. Fiske that he may be suffering from appendicitis and recommended that Mr. Fiske be examined by the on-call surgeon, Dr. Richard Rooney.
