I learned "res ipsa loquitur" in course on legal medicine.
A post op patient has persistent abdominal pain. A flat plate (x-ray) of the abdomen shows a surgical instrument in his abdomen. Res ipsa loquitur - he is the victim of medical
malpractice.The surgeon has no defense.
Of course I also heard Perry Mason say it a couple times.
