Case Study Hibiscus Medical Centre has been in operations for over eighteen (18) years. They specialize in Plastic and Restorative Surgery. One of their physicians has recently found himself in a lawsuit for $850 000. In administering a standard diagnostic procedure, which involved injecting the patient with a certain drug, to conduct an abdominoplasty procedure, she became paralyzed. The physician in his twenty (20) years of practice and twelve (12) years at the Centre has performed this standard procedure without any adverse effects. However, the lawyer of the Centre and the physician has notified them that more than likely the plaintiff’s legal team will utilize the res ipsa loquitur doctrine which will permit the jury to lean favorably toward the plaintiff unless the physician can prove that he was without a doubt not negligent. Questions Justify what defense the physician and his Centre’s legal team can employ against this negligence claim.
