California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Mathews v. Benjamin, 2d Civil No. B264580 (Cal. App. 2016):
The trial court could reasonably find that Mathews could not prove that the nondisclosure of alternative treatments fell below the standard of care "'"for competent practice within the medical community"'" without a qualified expert. (Schiff v. Prados, supra, 92 Cal.App.4th at p. 701.)
