If we fail to do this and the patient gets an injury as a result of our negligence, Res Ipsa Loquitor may be applied in this situation. This term means that “The Thing Speaks For Itself”; meaning, the patient doesn’t have to prove further that it was your fault because the injury is already obvious.
