Description
By a jury verdict, Dr. Clyde Hockett was found negligent for failure to diagnose a rectal abscess. Ronald Watson was awarded $99,000, offset by 27 percent contributory negligence. Dr. Hockett raises issues regarding jury instructions, particularly as they relate to (1) the patients duty to follow instructions, (2) the doctor as a guarantor of the result of his treatment, and (3) the physicians right to an honest error of judgment. We affirm.
