Malpractice suit settled out of court in Maryland
In western Maryland a $3 million medical malpractice case against Dr. Oscar Ramirez and multiple parties ended with an out-of-court settlement. Raymond and Karen Meinerschmidt of Sharpsburg alleged Ramirez failed to diagnose meningitis in their son Kirk, causing paralysis. The Washington County Hospital Association and two Bethesda firms were named. The trial had run 10 days with a jury in Washington County Circuit Court before a likely deadlock led to settlement sealing by Judge Fred Wright. The defense stressed no admission of wrongdoing by Ramirez.

Coalition battles Montana pregnancy leave law before Supreme Court
Washington reports a Reagan administration and leading feminist groups joined to oppose special pregnancy benefits. They argue Montana’s law requiring leaves for pregnant workers, if any employee may be denied leave for others, may violate Title VII and the 1978 Pregnancy Disability Amendment. The briefs contend federal law already bans discrimination based on pregnancy and allows employers to set benefit levels, while supporting a California case challenging similar rules. The fight centers on whether states can require pregnancy specific leave or if employers may offer leave on any basis without such discrimination.
