Plaintiff gave birth to her infant son at the defendant Medical Center on March 8, 1971. Defendant Geller, a private physician, entered the picture six hours later, as attending pediatrician with resident privileges. On March 11, Dr. Geller, having noted and confirmed a slightly jaundiced condition, ordered phototherapy. After three days of such treatment and monitoring, the child's bilirubin count fell to a normal level, and Dr. Geller ordered the patient discharged.
