Not by itself. A bad medical outcome does not automatically mean malpractice occurred. Medicine involves risks, complications, and uncertain outcomes.

The question is whether the care fell below the applicable professional standard and caused harm. Michigan law places the burden on the patient to establish the applicable standard of care, a breach of that standard, and that the injury would not have occurred without the breach.
