Falling Off X-Ray Table Raised Question of Fact

The Fourth Department determined plaintiff had raised a question of fact re: medical malpractice where decedent fell off an x-ray table when the attendant left the room to develop the x-rays:

Defendant failed to meet its “ ‘initial burden of establishing the absence of any departure from good and accepted medical practice or that the plaintiff[’s decedent] was not injured thereby’ ” … . With respect to decedent’s fall from the X ray table, defendant failed to present competent proof that it did not deviate from the applicable standard of care when the technician left the room to develop the X rays that had just been taken, with decedent still on the table.  Welsh, et al, v St Elizabeth Medical Center, 332, CA 12-01576, 4th Dept. 3-22-12
