A juror fainted during the trial of an medical malpractice claim against two doctors. 

One doctor treated the juror; the other did not.

The jury found in favor of both physicans, 

The Court of Appeals reversed and sent the case back for a new trial.

The Iowa Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part

The physician who did not help the stricken juror now seeks
further review of the court of appeals decision. Thus, we have to
determine whether the district court abused its discretion when it
allowed the jury verdict to stand as to the physician who had not
rendered medical assistance. We conclude it did not. The claims against
the two physicians were distinct and arose out of separate acts of alleged
malpractice at different times. We do not believe plaintiffs’ arguments
that one physician defendant’s actions engendered a sense of undue
goodwill and respect in the jury toward the medical profession generally
are a sufficient basis for overturning the district court’s on-the-scene
exercise of discretion. We therefore affirm the judgment of the district
court and vacate the decision of the court of appeals on this point. We
remand to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this
opinion,
