Editing Res ipsa loquitur (section)

==Typical in medical malpractice==

''Res ipsa loquitur'' often arises in the "[[scalpel]] left behind" variety of case. For example, a person goes to a doctor with abdominal pains after having his appendix removed. X-rays show the patient has a metal object the size and shape of a scalpel in his abdomen. It requires no further explanation to show the surgeon who removed the appendix was negligent, as there is no legitimate reason for a doctor to leave a scalpel in a body at the end of an appendectomy.<ref>{{cite web| url= https://www.solarlaw.co.il/ |title= Medical Malpractice Guide }} Tuesday, 31 December 2019</ref>
