In order to achieve the purpose of the medical treatment, a doctor has a duty to explain the patient or his/her guardian in detail the method of the medical treatment and other matters necessary for the health management and to prepare for legacy, etc. after giving a detailed explanation.

Meanwhile, even in cases where a patient claims consolation money due to his/her violation of the doctor's duty to explain due to a serious result of medical practice, the patient's serious result should be caused by medical practice (see Supreme Court Decision 94Da27151, Apr. 25, 1995).

In particular, the court below explained that there is a possibility that the burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burgary burging the Plaintiffs' mental suffering.

C. The judgment of the court below is just in accordance with the above legal principles, and there is no error of law by misunderstanding the legal principles as to the duty of explanation or the duty of explanation as the object of consolation money payment as pointed out in the grounds of appeal. In addition, while the court below judged that the result of the above plaintiff's loss loss loss loss loss cannot be readily determined as a result of a mistake in the operation in the white ground of this case or after-the-counter surgery, it cannot be viewed as a contradictory relation even if the result of the above loss loss loss loss loss was recognized as a result of the operation in the white ground of this case, and it cannot be viewed as a contradictory relation, and there is no error of law in the misapprehension of the reasons as
