## Opinion text

I concur specially to point out that the result reached by the majority is dictated by the state of the record in this case. I cannot take judicial notice of a "conspiracy of silence" among physicians in Alabama. Furthermore, the plaintiff's expert witness, a nonresident of the state of Alabama, obviously is not the best witness to discuss this important issue. It is my opinion that after a full and complete presentation of the so called "conspiracy of silence" in Alabama is made in a trial court, this Court will be in a better position to address the merits of the plaintiff's claim.
SHORES and STEAGALL, JJ., concur.
