California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Petrou v. South Coast Emergency Group, 119 Cal.App.4th 1090, 15 Cal.Rptr.3d 64 (Cal. App. 2004):

(Miranda v. National Emergency Services, Inc. (1995) 35 Cal.App.4th 894, 904, 41 Cal.Rptr.2d 593.) Thus, the section requires that an expert testifying in a malpractice action as to the standard of care must be one who has "substantial professional experience" in providing emergency medical services in an emergency room. ( 1799.110(c)); see Miranda v. National Emergency Services, Inc., supra, 35 Cal. App.4th at p. 900, 41 Cal.Rptr.2d 593; Zavala v. Board of Trustees (1993) 16 Cal. App.4th 1755, 1762-1763, 20 Cal.Rptr.2d 768.)
