1. “"The burden is on the party moving for summary judgment to establish that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that he is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. [Citations.] Defendant did not sustain that burden. In his deposition, defendant did not testify that his acts were consistent with the degree of care, skill and diligence which is used by ordinarily careful physicians in the same or similar circumstances in his or a similar community. [Citations.] The court should not have found that there was no issue of material fact as to defendant's negligence." (Footnotes omitted.) 664 P.2d at 428-429 .”
