4657 REVIEW DENIED CACI # 506, which instructs a jury that a doctor is not necessarily negligent for choosing one medically accepted method and it turns out another would have been a better choice, should not be given in the absence of expert testimony that the doctor being sued for malpractice chose a medically accepted method from among medically accepted alternatives; erroneous use of the instruction was found to be harmless error in view of circumstances making it unlikely the result otherwise would have been different.CitationAYALA v ARROYO VISTA (Harmless CACI) 160 CA4 1350 [See: Maher v Saad 82 CA4 1317, T/AT 9/00; Soule v GM 8 C4 548, T/AT 11/94; Metcalf v County 42 C4 1121, T/AT 3/08]
