(2) Around 19:10, Defendant I revealed that the Plaintiff E had two alleys and 5 cms of thrings, and explained that there was no opinion on cerebral blood transfusion in the present state. Since the symptoms of the Deceased are likely to cause an unforeseeable and delayed cT transfusion in the event of the occurrence of two alleys, mouths, food rooms, etc. due to the symptoms of the Deceased, Defendant I observed the progress of the Deceased in a middle-patient, notified that there was a need to carry out cT shooting again after several hours, and disinfected the parts of the body of the deceased by transferring the deceased to an emergency room around 19:15.
(3) The Deceased complained of two copies at the emergency room of the Defendant Hospital at around 19:33, and at around 19:40, he was in the heart-dong.

(g) Relevant medical knowledge;
(1) The type of trauma cerebral dystrophical dystrophy is a phenomenon that can be able to observe both external wounds, and 1-7% of the total two external dystrophye patients. It can be divided into the primary dystrophy (or damage) formed immediately after the damage and the delayed dystrophyal dystrophy that are formed after a certain period of time. The 20% of the external dystrophyal dystrophy is primary dystrophy
(2) If a primary cerebral typhism occurred immediately after the injury to the external trauma, the existence may be confirmed even if the external typhism occurred. However, since the delayed typhism is not rare, it is universal to re-inform CT photographs after the lapse of several hours even if there is no change in special symptoms after the first CT photographing test. (3) The cardiopulmonary brith (AFib.) may occur due to brain pressure, sudden stress, heavy stress, infection, temporary typhracism, etc. However, in 70 older persons, such as the deceased, there may naturally be cardiopulmonary briths without the above conditions, and the causal link is difficult to clearly determine.

At around 19:40, Defendant I was negligent in failing to properly diagnose the deceased, or by failing to carefully examine the deceased’s condition for more than one hour, even if he did so, even if he did not immediately conduct CT shooting, and such negligence by Defendant I also caused the death of the deceased.
(3) Accordingly, Defendant G, H, I, and Defendant F, the medical professionals of Defendant Hospital, are jointly and severally liable for damages incurred by the deceased and the Plaintiff due to the above negligence of Defendant G, H, and I.
B. The defendants' assertion
(1) In the X-ray photographing room, the deceased’s duty to supervise the patient is deemed to be a radiation company. As such, it cannot be deemed that the Defendant H, who carried out the deceased’s wheel in X-ray photographing room and returned to the Defendant G, was negligent in relation to the instant accident.
(2) Although Defendant G confirmed whether the deceased could have taken the deceased’s consciousness before X-ray shooting and the deceased’s personal character, the accident of this case occurred due to the cause beyond the deceased’s identity, and thus, Defendant G cannot be deemed to have been negligent.
(3) On May 8, 2013, when the instant accident occurred, from around 19:05 to around 21:05, Defendant I decided to re-enter the CT photographing while observing the progress after transferring the deceased to a serious patient room for two hours. During the past observation, Defendant I showed the deceased’s opinion of opinion on his consciousness and Dong/Dong colon’s consent, and prompt re-working of the two parts CT filming, and then shows the opinion on delayed re-explosion, and immediately taking the two parts of the CT shooting, and the appropriate medical treatment required from the level of medical care due to the practice of clinical medicine at the time was conducted. Thus, Defendant I cannot be deemed to have a medical negligence.
A. Whether Defendant G and H were negligent
(1) The deceased was mixed in X-ray photographing room and the accident of this case occurred with delayed cerebral cerebral cerebral cerebral cerebral cerebral cerebral cerebral cerebral cerebrala, and eventually the death of the deceased is as seen earlier.
However, the following circumstances acknowledged by the purport of Eul evidence Nos. 1 and 2 as a whole and the entire pleadings are as follows: ① the deceased moved from wheel-ray room at the time of the instant accident to X-ray room is not because the deceased was exposed to injection at the time, and the deceased was aged 72 years old; ② The deceased was under normal conditions such as blood pressure, beer, and body temperature at the time of entrance into the emergency room of the defendant hospital; ③ The deceased was under normal conditions at the time of entrance into the emergency room of the defendant hospital; ③ The deceased was not under normal conditions at the investigation agency of Do, and it was difficult to view that there was no serious health problem, such as walking about 3km from the house of the instant accident to the defendant hospital; ④ The deceased did not have any other duty of care to take care of the deceased, and it was difficult to view that the deceased’s act was against the deceased’s duty of care to take care of the deceased, and there was no other evidence that the deceased was against the deceased’s duty of care to take care of the deceased-H-ray.
(2) Furthermore, the plaintiffs asserted that, at the time of the accident in this case, the deceased was in a knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife knife, and that the accident in this case occurred. However, it is insufficient to accept the above argument
B. Whether Defendant 1 was negligent
(1) In performing medical acts such as diagnosis and treatment, a doctor has a duty of care to take the best measures required to prevent risks depending on the patient’s specific symptoms or circumstances. Such duty of care is based on the level of medical practice performed in the clinical field, such as a medical institution, at the time of performing the medical act. Since the level of medical care is generally known and recognized at the time of the medical act by an ordinary doctor, taking into account the environment and conditions of the medical act, the peculiarity of the medical act, etc. In addition, diagnosis is a starting point of a clinical medicine that determines whether a disease is discovered or not and determines its kind, character, and degree of progress. Accordingly, in determining the existence of negligence in the diagnosis, it is important for the treatment law to be selected accordingly. Although it is impossible to perform the complete clinical diagnosis in the process, it should be determined within the scope of diagnosis conducted at least 10,000, based on the maximum ethical knowledge and experience required by the doctor, and it should be determined within 196.39% of the results of the diagnosis, 2019.
(2) On May 8, 2013, immediately after the instant accident, Defendant did not discover cerebrovascular at the time of the first CT shooting of the Deceased on May 19:10, 201, and thereafter, on around 19:33, the Deceased complained of two parts of the deceased, and on around 19:40, the 19:40, and the 19:40, the death of the deceased was as seen earlier.
However, the above facts were stated in No. 1 and No. 2, the fact finding about the deceased's association of this court, and the following circumstances acknowledged by the overall purport of the pleading, namely, ① Defendant's guardian and nurse of the Defendant hospital notified that he would be able to re-explocing two parts of the deceased's cT photographs after the lapse observation by giving notice of the symptoms of delayed interlocing, oral, food and clothing room, etc. ② Defendant's appeal was made on May 8, 2013, and around 19:40, there was no possibility that the deceased would have been able to re-explocing the deceased's cT photographs for the first time until he was transferred to the patient's room, ③ Defendant 1 appears to have been aware that he could not immediately be able to re-explocing the deceased's cirthic cirical cirthic cirthic cirthic cirthic cirthic cirral.
In light of the following facts: (a) there is only two minor external wounds, such as the normal two frameworks, and it is predicted that a fatal delayed surgery occurred earlier than the expected time; (b) the deceased was frequently treated with high blood pressure; (c) the deceased was under 72 years old at the time of the instant accident; and (d) it is difficult for Defendant I to readily conclude that the cardiopulmonary surgery, which was shown at around 19:40, may occur due to sudden stress, was due to cerebrovascular; and (c) Defendant I was unable to re-influore the shooting of CTs on May 8, 2013, prior to the death of the deceased’s own consciousness and the symptoms of the dynamic coscopic surgery.
Therefore, solely based on the foregoing circumstances, it is difficult to view that Defendant 1 had any medical negligence in diagnosing the Deceased with a delayed fluoral re-explosion and taking measures to transfer it to the Jeonnam University Hospital, on May 8, 2013, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge otherwise.
(1) As above, Defendant G and H cannot be acknowledged as having occupational negligence in relation to the instant accident, and as long as it cannot be acknowledged that Defendant 1’s negligence was caused by Defendant G, H, and I’s medical act, such as diagnosis and treatment, the Plaintiffs’ assertion about Defendant G, H, and I is without merit as to the scope of damages.
(2) As long as tort liability against Defendant G, H, and I’s deceased and Plaintiffs cannot be acknowledged, the Plaintiffs’ assertion of employer liability against Defendant F cannot be acknowledged.
4. Conclusion
Therefore, all of the plaintiffs' claims are dismissed, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
