LIDIA J. KRYNICKI ET AL., PLAINTIFFS vs. AARON J. CZYSZ, M.D. ET AL., DEFENDANTS

Discovery—Motion to Compel—In Camera Review— Work Product Doctrine—Attorney-Client Privilege—

Medical Malpractice.Plaintiffs brought a medical malpractice against several hospital and physician defen-

dants. Counsel for the hospital defendants orally provided the hospital’s risk administrator with several questions counsel wanted one of the hospital’s doctors to answer. The adminis-trator handwrote the questions on the documents and forwarded the documents with the questions to the doctor. The doctor handwrote on the documents his answers to the questions and returned the documents to the administrator who then forwarded them to counsel. The doctor mentioned these documents during his deposition.

Plaintiffs filed a motion to compel to obtain these documents. The hospital defendants objected on the bases that the written questions from counsel and the responses of the doc-tor were protected by the work-product doctrine and/or attorney-client privilege. The Trial Court conducted an in camera review of these documents. Following this review, the Court denied the motion to compel.

The Court found that the specific written questions from hospital’s counsel contained the attorney’s mental impressions and, therefore, were protected by the work-product doctrine. The Court reasoned that the underlying purpose of the doctrine is to protect the mental processes of an attorney by providing a privileged area within which the attorney can analyze and prepare the client’s case. The Court also noted the work-product privilege protects materials prepared by the attorney’s agents and concluded both the administrator and doctor were the attorney’s agents such that the responses were also covered by this doctrine.

Further, the Court found that the questions and responses were confidential com-munications between an attorney and her client and, thus, were protected by attorney-client privilege. The Court noted that the intended beneficiary of this privilege is not the individ-ual client so much as the systematic administration of justice which depends on frank and open communication between an attorney and client.

I. INTRODUCTION

Before the Court for consideration is the portion of Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Complete Responses to Discovery Requests From Lehigh Valley Hospital Defendants filed November 2, 2018 which seeks “the written questions about the revisions to the pro-cedure note given to Dr. Miller and the responses of Dr. Miller as described in his deposition” (hereinafter, “Subject Document A”). A hearing was held on December 4, 2018 at which the Court was provided with three (3) pages of medical records containing hand-written questions given to Dr. Miller (hereinafter, “Subject Docu-ment B”). Thereafter, the Court conducted an in camera review of Subject Document B.

II. FINDINGS OF FACT

Defendants’ Counsel, Kimberly Krupka (“Attorney Krupka”), in furtherance of her representation of Defendant Lehigh Valley Health Network, Inc., Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network, Lehigh Valley Hospital Center and Lehigh Valley Hospital, Inc. (hereinafter, “Defendant Lehigh Valley Hospital”) in this case, had a telephone conversation with Carolyn Coleman, Administrator of Risk Management for Defendant Lehigh Valley Hospital (“Risk Manager”) and asked her to ask Dr. Matthew Miller, an employee of Defendant Lehigh Valley Hospital (“Dr. Miller”), specific ques-tions relating to the Subject Documents. Coleman handwrote those specific questions on the portions of the medical records to which they related and forwarded the so marked documents, thus creat-ing Subject Document B, to Dr. Miller. Thereafter, Dr. Miller wrote his answers to the specific questions on Subject Document B, thus creating Subject Document A, and delivered Subject Document A to Risk Manager, who forwarded Subject Document A to Attorney Krupka.

III. ISSUES PRESENTED

A. Whether the Written Questions About Revisions to the Procedure Note Given to Dr. Miller and the Responses of Dr.

Miller Are Precluded by the Work-Product Doctrine?

B. Whether the Written Questions About Revisions to the Procedure Note Given to Dr. Miller and the Responses of Dr.

Miller Are Precluded by Attorney-Client Privilege?12


Lehigh 7-17 op

IV. DISCUSSION

A. Whether the Written Questions About Revisions to the Procedure Note Given to Dr. Miller and the Responses of Dr.

Miller Are Precluded by the Work-Product Doctrine?

Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, the work-product doctrine provides that a party may obtain discovery material prepared in anticipation of litigation or trial by a party’s attorney, but such discovery “shall not include disclosure of the mental impressions of a party’s attorney or his or her conclusions, opinions, memoranda, notes or summaries, legal research or legal theories.” See Pa. R.C.P. No. 4003.3; Bagwell v. Pennsylvania Department of Education, 103 A.3d 409, 415 (Pa. Cwmlth. 2014). The work-product “doctrine also protects materials prepared by agents for the attorney.” Id. at 416 (citation and interal quotation marks omitted). This includes “an attorney’s ‘[investigator’s or other agent’s] opinions, theories, or conclusions’ as part of prepar-ing his client’s case.” Id. (citation omitted). The work product of an attorney must necessarily relate to legal work performed for a client, not to notes memorializing the statements of witnesses taken by an investigator acting as mere agent of the client or of the attorney. McIlmail v. Archdiocese of Philadelphia, 189 A.3d 1100 (Pa. Super. 2018).

In this case, Attorney Krupka was communicating her mental impressions as they related to the medical records and directed Risk Manager to obtain answers to those questions from Dr. Miller in order to assist with Attorney Krupka’s legal analysis and preparation of the defense in this case. In these circumstances, Risk Manager was an agent for Attorney Krupka when Attorney Krukpa directed her to obtain answers to specific questions from Dr. Miller. Further, Dr. Miller was an agent, when, as an em-ployee of Defendant Lehigh Valley Hospital, he provided answers to Attorney Krupka through Risk Manager to aid in Attorney Krupka’s legal analysis and preparation of the defense in this case.

“The underlying purpose of the work product doctrine is to [protect] the mental processes of an attorney, providing a privileged area within which the attorney can analyze and prepare [the] cli-ent’s case.” Bagwell, supra at 415-16 (quotations and citations omitted). The Court finds that the specific questions Attorney

13


Lehigh 7-17 op

Krupka relayed to Risk Manager and Risk Manager wrote on Sub-ject Document B reflect the mental impressions of Attorney Krupka. As with any attorney, Attorney Krupka’s mental impres-sions are based upon her education, experience, understanding of this case and potentially a variety of other personal factors. The varying education and experience of different attorneys arguably results in different mental impressions for each attorney in the same situation and, thus, could result in each attorney reading and approaching that situation differently and, thus, asking different questions. Indeed, the facts or questions that one attorney finds important may not be seem as significant to a different attorney.

For these reasons, the Court finds that Subject Document B is protected by the attorney work-product doctrine and is, there-fore, not discoverable by Plaintiff. Since the questions of Attorney Krupka are not discoverable, the answers to those questions are, likewise, not discoverable. Thus, the Court finds that Subject Document A is also protected by the attorney work-product doc-trine and is not discoverable by Plaintiff.

B. Whether the Written Questions About Revisions to the Procedure Note Given to Dr. Miller and the Responses of Dr.

Miller Are Precluded by Attorney-Client Privilege?

The Pennsylvania Judiciary and Judicial Procedure statute, at 42 Pa. C.S. §5928 Confidential Communications to Attorney, creates the statutory construction of attorney-client privilege as follows: “Counsel shall not be competent or permitted to testify to confidential communications made to him by his client, nor shall the client be compelled to disclose the same, unless in either case this privilege is waived upon the trial by the client.” 42 Pa. C.S. §5928.

Case law discusses that privilege this way: “Recognizing that its purpose is to create an atmosphere that will encourage confi-dence and dialogue between attorney and client, the privilege is founded upon a policy extrinsic to the protection of the fact-finding process[.” In re Thirty-Third Statewide Investigating Grand Jury, 624 Pa. 361, 382, 86 A.3d 204, 216-17 (2014). “W]hen the client is a corporation, the privilege extends to communications between its attorney and agents or employees authorized to act on the corporation’s behalf.” Red Vision Sys., Inc. v. Nat’l Real Estate

14


Lehigh 7-17 op

Info. Servs., L.P., 108 A.3d 54, 60 (Pa. Super. 2015). The intended beneficiary of this policy is not the individual client so much as the systematic administration of justice which depends on frank and open client-attorney communication.” Twp. Of Neshannock v. Kirila Contractors, Inc., 181 A.3d 467, 473 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2018)[(citation omitted)]. Further, the attorney-client privilege operates in a two-way fashion to protect confidential client-to-attorney or attorney-to-client communications made for the purpose of obtain-ing or providing professional legal advice. See Gillard v. AIG Ins. Co., 609 Pa. 65, 15 A.3d 44 (2011).

In this case, Attorney Krupka was communicating with her client when she asked Risk Manager to obtain answers to her spe-cific questions from Dr. Miller in order to assist with Attorney Krupka’s legal analysis and preparation of the defense in this case. In these circumstances, Risk Manager was a representative of Defendant Lehigh Valley Hospital and Attorney Krupka was com-municating with her as such. Further, Dr. Miller was an employee of Defendant Lehigh Valley Hospital, Attorney Krupka’s client, and was acting in the capacity when he provided answers to At-torney Krupka through Risk Manager to aid in Attorney Krupka’s legal analysis and preparation of the defense in this case.

Any disclosure of the questions and answers written on Sub-ject Document A and/or the questions written on Subject Docu-ment B would disclose communications between attorney and client and would, thus, constitute a violation of the attorney-client privilege.

Thus, the Court finds that Subject Document A and Subject Document B are protected by attorney-client privilege and are, therefore, not discoverable.

V. CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, the portion of Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Complete Responses to Discovery Requests From Lehigh Valley Hospital Defendants filed November 2, 2018 which seeks “the written questions about the revisions to the procedure note given to Dr. Miller and the responses of Dr. Miller as de-scribed in his deposition” is DENIED.

MASTER CLASS CLE/CJE SERIES

A Master Class is a class given to students of a particular discipline by an expert of that discipline – usually music, but also painting, drama, any of the arts or on any other occasion where skills are being developed.

We hope you will join us at BALC’s new ‘Master Class’ seminars – a series of seminars directed toward newly admitted attorneys but useful to new lawyers, young lawyers or any lawyer looking to broaden their awareness of any area of practice where they are not already familiar with and want to become so. We highly encourage the larger firms to send their new associates to as many of these seminars as they are able to attend.

We are hoping that these classes will promote an interactive atmosphere where presenters and attendees will share in the conversation on the topic at hand.

The first in this series of Master Class seminars is being given by the Hon. Robert Steinberg and the Hon. J. Brian Johnson on Monday, March 4th from 12:15 PM – 1:15 PM. They will be discussing what is expected when practicing in Lehigh County before the civil and criminal judges. More information to follow.

Please watch for other developing Master Class courses throughout 2019.

Additionally, the new law allows automatic sealing of records for second or third-degree misdemeanor offenses that included a less than two-year prison sentence if a person has been free from convictions for 10 years, as well as sealing of criminal history records related to charges that resulted in non-convictions.

Training participants will learn all about Pennsylvania’s New Clean Slat Program:

• What can be expunged? • What can be sealed? • Will sealing happen automatically? • Is there a waiting period before filing?
