The following excerpt is from James v. White, 1999 CanLII 3133 (BC SC):
In circumstances where the evidence discloses differing schools of thought as to the appropriate standard of care, it is acceptable that the physician adhered to an accepted school of thought and whether one of the accepted schools of thought is the better is not a legal issue. [See Belknap v. Meakes, supra].
