Description
In this medical malpractice case we consider primarily the problem of distinguishing the effect of the defendant Dr. Harold R. Weicherts alleged negligence from the natural results of plaintiff William F. Monahans disease. Trial Term dismissed the complaint against Dr. Weichert at the end of the plaintiffs case concluding that there was insufficient evidence to permit the inference of proximate cause, i.e., any causal connection between defendant doctors conduct and plaintiffs injury. We reverse and grant a new trial. The proof of proximate cause sufficiently raised issues for determination by the jury.
