## Opinion text

HIGGINBOTHAM, J.,
dissenting.
hi respectfully dissent from the majority’s reversal of the trial court’s grant of JNOV in this case. My review of the record reveals the jury was confused and applied the wrong standard of care to the emergency room doctor. Thus, I would affirm the JNOV ruling.
