The plaintiffs in this consolidated appeal filed complaints alleging, inter alia, medical malpractice and drug product liability. The plaintiffs alleged that they had suffered injuries from injections of discase, the trade name used by defendant Baxter Laboratories, Inc., for chymopapain, a Federal Drug Administration investigational drug. During discovery, the plaintiffs sought the production of the medical records of patients, other than the plaintiffs, who also had been treated with discase at the defendant hospital, Central DuPage Hospital (the hospital). The hospitals objections were overruled, and the trial court subsequently ordered the hospital to produce the admission and discharge summaries (the records) of some 800 patients. The court stated that the hospital could strike the names and identifying numbers of the patients from the records. The hospital failed to comply with the courts orders and was held in contempt of court. The hospital appeals.
