Description
The appeal is from a judgment of conviction for indecent assault. A physician associated with Ancker Hospital in St. Paul, but not qualified as a bacteriologist, was called as a witness by the state. After testifying that he had examined the complaining witness on the morning after the alleged offense and secured from her person material which was sent to the laboratory for analysis, he was permitted, over objection by defendant's counsel, to recite reported laboratory findings to the effect that the analysis disclosed the presence of sperm. A second laboratory study, he said, was made about a week later in an effort to resolve doubt as to the presence of gonococci. At this stage, the witness, unaware or unmindful of the medical privilege, 1 related that he ""looked up the record of the person who was supposed to have had sexual contact with the child and found he had gonorrhea at some time before."" For this reason, he continued, he treated the alleged victim with penicillin. Later, in response to a series of questions by the prosecuting attorney, this witness gave a detailed description of the effects of gonorrhea upon a female if treatment is not provided.
