Are all medical bad results considered negligence?

A. No. Medical results cannot be guaranteed and bad results do occur, despite the best efforts of physicians, nurses and other hospital staff. Conduct is negligent when it fails to meet the “standard of care” of those with similar training and experience, and the patient is harmed as a result. The standard of care is determined by experts and constitutes what a reasonable health care provider would do under similar circumstances.
