Supreme Court of Delaware
Freeman v. X-Ray Assocs., P.A., 453, 2009
In a medical malpractice action claiming that defendant doctor performed a biopsy on an incorrect organ, the trial judge's grant of defendant's motion for a directed verdict in the defendant's favor is reversed where: 1) the liver biopsy performed on plaintiff was a surgical procedure as contemplated by 18 Del. C. section 6853(e)(3); and 2) this rendered a medical expert's opinion on the standard of care and breach thereof unnecessary.
