The standard of care that the court must apply in medical malpractice cases is not one of perfection; but rather is to require the physician to conduct him or herself within a reasonable degree of skill and knowledge. This includes skill and care with respect to diagnosis, and treatment of the patient's medical condition. It is an objective standard and varies according to the level of the experience attained by the physicians whose performance is under consideration.  2, record 1, English, - reasonable%20degree%20of%20skill%20and%20knowledge

What is "reasonable knowledge, skill and care" depends on the facts of each case. Reasonableness has been determined on the evidence of qualified or licensed personnel. A rule has evolved to the effect that the "reasonable knowledge, skill and care" which one must have and use, is that possessed by knowledgeable persons qualified by proper training.  2, record 2, English, - reasonable%20knowledge%2C%20skill%20and%20care

Le sens de l'expression «connaissance, habileté et soins raisonnables» dépend des faits de chaque cas d’espèce. Le caractère raisonnable est en général établi à la lumière du témoignage de praticiens qualifiés ou autorisés. Une règle s’est dégagée, voulant que «la connaissance, l'habileté et les soins raisonnables», requis soient ceux que doit posséder une personne intelligente et qualifiée par une formation appropriée.  2, record 2, French, - connaissance%2C%20habilet%C3%A9%20et%20soins%20raisonnables
