House Bill 2362 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to make provisions relating to the standard of proof for health care liability claims involving emergency medical care inapplicable to medical care or treatment that is unrelated to a medical emergency or that is provided after the patient is stabilized and receiving care or treatment as a nonemergency patient. The bill also makes those provisions inapplicable to a physician or health care provider whose negligent act or omission proximately causes a stable patient to require emergency medical care.
