DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON THE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE AND LACK OF INFORMED CONSENT CAUSES OF ACTION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendants should not have been awarded summary judgment on the medical malpractice and lack of informed consent causes of action:

The affidavit of the defendants’ expert failed to address and rebut the specific allegations of malpractice set forth in the complaint and bill of particulars … , and failed to eliminate all triable issues of fact as to whether [defendant doctor] properly performed the transrectal biopsy procedure and properly discharged the plaintiff despite his repeated complaints of bleeding from his rectum, and whether these alleged departures from good and accepted medical practice were a proximate cause of the plaintiff’s injuries … . …

“The mere fact that the plaintiff signed a consent form does not establish the defendants’ prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law” … .

… [T]he defendants failed to submit proof sufficient to establish … that the plaintiff was informed of the reasonably foreseeable risks associated with the treatment, or that a reasonably prudent patient in the same position would have undergone the treatment if he or she had been fully informed … . Huichun Feng v Accord Physicians, PLLC, 2021 NY Slip Op 03024, Second Dept 5-12-21
