A patient was unconscious under anesthesia during knee surgery. After surgery, she discovered a deep burn on her shoulder, far from the surgical site. The evidence showed that a warming device had been placed near her shoulder during the operation, and that the device and the patient's position were controlled by the hospital's surgical team. No witness could say which team member placed the device too close to the patient.
Which statement best describes the patient's proof of breach?

Choose the Best Answer

The burn conclusively proves negligence per se. The patient must lose because she consented to surgery. The jury may infer breach if the burn is the kind of injury that ordinarily does not occur without negligence and the relevant equipment and procedure were under the surgical team's control. The hospital is automatically liable because all injuries to unconscious patients are intentional torts.
