[2025-10-02T03:58:41.465511] [PI reasoning] **Analyzing medical negligence**

I'm looking at a medical negligence question that revolves around a patient developing osteomyelitis after failing to follow the doctor's dressing instructions. Here, contributory negligence applies; the patient contributed to their own harm, which is often a partial defense. The last clear chance doctrine suggests that the doctor isn't guilty since they provided guidance, and the patient ignored it. Thus, the answer is B, reflecting the patient's contributory negligence. I'll need to search literature for references on this topic!
