Larry Aubrey Henson, v. Elizabeth Ellen Sorrell - Concurring/Dissenting

Case Number
02A01-9711-CV-00291

I write separately only to indicate disagreement with an inference that may be drawn from the majority opinion. The last sentence in the opinion states that a party such as Henson may recover damages immediately flowing from the wrongful conduct, as in Smith v. Gore, 728 S.W.2d 738 (Tenn. 1987). As noted in the majority opinion, the plaintiff mother in Smith was permitted to recover in a medical malpractice action for damages immediately related to pregnancy and childbirth.
