Description
This appeal requires us to determine whether there was sufficient evidence presented at the trial of this medical malpractice action to warrant submission to the jury. Ruling that plaintiffs case lacked the necessary evidence to establish the negligent act as the proximate cause of the injuries sustained, the trial judge granted a directed verdict under Rule 50 in favor of the defendant hospital. Before reaching the question of the sufficiency of the evidence, it is necessary to trace the wife-plaintiffs medical history prior and subsequent to the alleged act of negligence.
