Description
Richard Martin sued Dr. Floyd Bralliar for medical malpractice, and Bralliar appeals from the judgment entered on the jurys award of $60,000 damages. Bralliar asserts as grounds for reversal: (1) That the issue of informed consent was improperly submitted to the jury because Martin did not show that, by the medical standards of the community, there were any substantial or specific risks which Bralliar was required to divulge; (2) that Dr. Betson, one of Martins medical witnesses, was not competent to testify, since he was not practicing in the community at the time the surgery was performed; (3) that the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury that a portion of the damage claim had been withdrawn by Martin; and (4) that the damages are excessive. We affirm.
