  Florida Personal Injury Law: Medical & Professional Malpractice
Plaintiffs suing for professional malpractice must prove that the professional was negligent and breached his or her duty of care, resulting in the plaintiff's injury.
A professional who disregards well-established medical standards or attempts to perform procedures beyond his or her capabilities is exposing him- or herself to a possible malpractice lawsuit.
A health care professional may have acted in the same manner as any reasonably competent health care professional; and while the professional might have caused the injury, if he or she did not breach the duty of care to the plaintiff, he or she should not be held liable.

Medical malpractice occurs when a negligent act or omission by a doctor or other medical professional results in damage or harm to a patient.
Medical professionals are often heard to refer to medicine as an art, rather than a science, and although errors in judgment may result in injury to a patient, not all medical errors are actionable as negligence.
A medical professional may be held liable for the negligent prescription of a medication or medical device if he or she ignored the manufacturer's instructions, or prescribed an incorrect medication or dosage, which resulted in injury to the patient.

 The Association of Medical Illustrators, Career   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
A medical illustrator is a professional artist with extensive training in medicine and science who creates visual material to help record and disseminate medical, biological and related knowledge.
This is in part due to the relatively few medical illustrators who graduate each year, and in part due to the growth in medical research that continually reveals new treatments and technologies that require medical illustrations.
Some medical illustrators specialize in a particular facet of medicine, such as forensic reconstruction, ophthalmological illustration, medical-legal presentations, or the making of prostheses, often accumulating considerable recognition for their knowledge and abilities in that particular area.
