摘要：	Cruise ships operate in a very different world from tugs, towboats, and inland passenger vessels. But a recent 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decision dealing with medical care aboard a cruise ship raised legal issues that may be of interest to all commercial vessels. The case involved a passenger who suffered a heart attack aboard a large cruise ship. Early into the cruise, he woke up with stomach pain. He went to the ship's infirmary after dinner. Tests showed he was having a heart attack and he was moved to the ship's intensive care unit. After a remote medical consult, shipboard doctors felt the patient should stay on board for " treatment. For about 36 hours, ship's medical staff monitored the passenger. At Miami, the passenger was taken to a hospital. Surgeons implanted four stents, and he later had a pacemaker installed. He sued the cruise line for failing to diagnose and properly manage his condition, and for not evacuating him from the ship.
