The Court of Appeals for the First Appellate District of Ohio affirmed a jury's verdict in favor of a doctor and a plastic surgery center, after the estate of a patient who died from medical complications following treatment brought suit for medical malpractice and failure to obtain informed consent.

In a Sept. 6 opinion, authored by Judge Jennifer Kinsley, the court determined that, in instructing the jury on lack of informed consent, the trial court hadn't committed plain error by providing jurors with the conclusion section of the instructions or by issuing an interrogatory.
