Description
ESCHBACH, Circuit Judge. Reinhold Weise brought a medical malpractice action against the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act (""FTCA""), 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-2680. The district court entered judgment for Weise. On appeal, the government presents three challenges to the judgment. First, it claims that, in entering judgment for Weise, the district court ignored its own finding that Weise had not met his burden of persuasion. Next, it contends that, in finding that Weise had established the prevailing standard of medical care, the district court improperly applied Illinois law. Finally, the government urges that the district court's use of medical literature violated Federal Rule of Evidence 803(18), and constituted reversible error.
