Edna Cooksey, et al vs. HCA Health Services of TN

The only question in this appeal is whether the injury a patient suffered during post-operative care resulted from a medical procedure and, therefore, required expert proof to establish the hospital's liability. The Circuit Court of Davidson County held that the complaint sought damages for professional negligence and that since the plaintiff did not rebut the hospital's motion for summary judgment with any expert proof, the complaint must be dismissed. We affirm.
