DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT
Carnival Corporation, doing business as Carnival Cruise Lines, provides medical care for its passengers. Carnival utilizes its medical staff, including nurses and doctors, as its agents. Carnival Corporation, doing business as Carnival Cruise Lines, holds out these doctors and nurses as Plaintiff’s agent, employees, and shipboard officers. Carnival makes representations also about the quality of this medical care.
Relying upon these representations, passenger Henry Mann took a cruise on or about the date indicated above on the Carnival Glory.
Mr. Mann experienced, while on the cruise, blood upon urinating. He reported to the ship’s infirmary, whereupon the ship’s  nurse, an employee of Carnival,  inserted a catheter into his penis and injected saline or sterile water into the catheter. The nurse in the infirmary, an employee of Carnival, injected an excessive amount of saline or other solution into the catheter into the Plaintiff’s bladder. The Plaintiff expressed pain and screamed out loud. Yet, the nurse did not stop and injected even more saline or other solution into the catheter. The nurse’s actions resulted in his bursting the bladder of the Plaintiff. This resulted in an emergency medical situation, and a permanent injury including surgery and a urostomy bag.
As a result of this incident, Mr. Mann suffered serious, debilitating, and permanent injuries including surgery to repair and recreate a new bladder, permanent use of a urostomy bag for urination, painful bowel movements, constant and excruciating pain in his urethra, and urinary bladder surgery as a result of the negligence of Carnival Corporation by and through their medical staff.
