The professional standard of care in case of physicians becomes important if you wish to proceed against them in a consumer forum to recover damages.
There cannot be any objective standard for care by a phsycian. I am conversant with Indian consumer protection scenario and till date no regulatory or statutory body has published any standard guideline for care.
However, the level of care can be assumed to be that of a reasonable and regulary updated professional of the medical profession. The phsycian cannot go against the etablished norms of treatment and diagnosis in the profession and can not experiment with the patient.
In order to prove the standard of care, opinion of experts in that field of treatment can be very useful.
