Amanda needed surgery on her right knee. When the anesthesia wore off after the operation, she noticed surgical wrapping around both knees. When she asked the nurse why both knees were wrapped, the nurse replied that the surgeon made an incision on her left knee, discovered the mistake, and proceeded with the operation on the right knee. What modification of the law of negligence will Amanda probably be able to invoke to recover damages from the surgeon?
