600 F.Supp. 146 (1985)

District Court, Virgin Islands, D. St. Croix.

January 2, 1985.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John K. Dema, Christiansted, St. Croix, V.I., for plaintiff.

R. Eric Moore, Christiansted, St. Croix, V.I., for defendant.

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

DAVID V. O'BRIEN, District Judge.

A jury in this medical malpractice case returned a verdict of $150,000 in favor of the plaintiff. At issue is a post trial motion by the defendant seeking judgment notwithstanding the verdict, or a new trial. The heart of defendant's motion is the assertion that the Court's instruction to the jury which applied a national standard of care as against a locality standard, was erroneous.
