頸椎手術術後患者病情惡化,法院採「概括的事實認定」判定醫師有過失【寰宇醫事裁判】 試閱
The Condition of the Patient Worsens after Cervical Vertebra Sur-gery, and the Court Ascertains with the Summary of Facts That the Physician Had a Negligence
本件原告患者X(68歲,男性)於1993年至被告Y醫院接受A醫師之頸椎手術後症狀惡化,從原本的身體障礙者第二級程度加重為第一級程度,因而主張A醫師有開刀技術上的失誤、選擇術式錯誤等過失,對院方提出損害賠償告訴。法院雖否認A醫師在選擇術式上有過失,卻採「概括的事實認定」,認定A醫師有三項開刀技術上之過失(福岡高等法院2008年2月15日判決)。
After taking a cervical vertebra surgery by the physician A in the Hospital Y, the 68-year-old plaintiff X’s condition worsened from the physically disabled 2nd level to the 1st level. The X complains consequently that the A had the negligence of techniques and faults during choosing of the operation method. The X also sues the Y for the compensation of the damage. Denying faults during choosing of the operation method, the judge still ascertains with the summary of facts that the A had the negligence of techniques in 3 ways.
