Question

A medical assistant in a physician's office improperly bandaged a patient's wound that ended in

further injury of the patient. The defendant stated that the technique was one used by other
medical assistants in the area even though it was not considered standard of care.
Do you think this defense will hold up in court?

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Whether or not the technique is used by other medical assistants the defendant still further injured the patient meaning he either performed the technique incorrectly, he is lying, or it is a flawed technique. Even further it's his job to help the patient and he did the exact opposite of that.
