## Opinion text

Hill, J.
(special concurrence in Judge Rosellini’s dissent) — While not concurring in all that Judge Rosellini says in his dissent, I do concur in his conclusions that this was not a proper case for the application of res ipsa loqui-tur, and that the probable cause of the plaintiff’s pitiable condition was left to conjecture and speculation with no more than a possibility that Dr. Bussabarger’s negligence, if any, may have been the cause thereof. I, too, would affirm the judgment entered on the verdict of the jury in this case.
July 9, 1968. Petition for rehearing denied.
