In the medical field, negligence is generally called "malpractice" - when a doctor or other medical professional fails to exercise the proper skill, judgment, or care expected of such a professional, and through this failure, causes injury to a patient. An intentional tort in the medical field could include any intentional tort that someone can commit outside the medical field - such as assault, battery, false imprisonment, fraud, etc. An example of battery that could conceivably be committed by a doctor would be the doctor performing an operation that the patient did not consent to.
