Description
1 This case is before the court on bypass pursuant to Wis. Stat. (Rule) 809.60 (2001-02). The plaintiff, Amanda Carney-Hayes (Carney-Hayes) and the defendants, Northwest Wisconsin Home Care Inc. and Kathy Avery (collectively, Northwest) join in this interlocutory appeal from the evidentiary rulings of the Circuit Court for Eau Claire County, Lisa K. Stark, Judge. Carney-Hayes sued Northwest, alleging that one of its employees, Kathy Avery, negligently provided emergency nursing treatment. Carney-Hayes now seeks to compel expert opinion testimony regarding the applicable standards of care from three unwilling witnesses----Avery, Cheryl Fontaine, and Jodene Verbracken. All three played a role in Northwests treatment of Carney-Hayes, but only Avery is a named defendant. All three refused to answer certain questions posed at their depositions, asserting the privilege we recognized in Burnett v. Alt, 224 Wis. 2d 72, 589 N.W.2d 21 (1999), and reiterated in Glenn v. Plante, 2004 WI 24, 269 Wis. 2d 575, 676 N.W.2d 413.
