Supreme Court of Oklahoma

Bean v. St. Francis Hospital

April 28, 20262026 OK 27

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court affirmed the district court's summary judgment, holding that the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie medical negligence claim because she presented no qualified expert to testify on the physicians' standard of care or to prove causation. The Court emphasized that a registered nurse is not qualified to opine on physician standards or causation in such cases.
