http://www.legalnursingconsultant.org/richards ****************************************************** ****************************************************** Proving a Medical Malpractice Case by Rebecca Berlin, Alllaw.com:"Medical malpractice involves more than an undesirable outcome to medical treatment. If you want to sue and win on a malpractice claim, you'll need to prove several elements to have a successful case. Your doctor or other healthcare provider owes you a legal duty by virtue of your provider – patient relationship. The duty is to provide you with care that is in keeping with professional standards. If you are going to prove a malpractice case, you need to be able to prove that the doctor did not meet the standard of care. What is the "standard of care"? The "standard of care" refers to those actions or measures that a reasonable healthcare professional in your community would take in similar circumstances. The actions that are considered reasonable will vary depending on the type of healthcare professional and the particular community. So if you saw a general practitioner in a rural and medically underserved community, you won't be able to hold that doctor to the same standard of care as you would a highly specialized physician in a large community with state of the art medical tests and facilities available."

The prevailing professional standard of care for a given health care provider shall be that level of care, skill, and treatment which, in light of all relevant surrounding circumstances, is recognized as acceptable and appropriate by reasonably prudent similar health care providers."
