Medical Malpractice: Trial Court Upheld in Ruling for the Defense

The Court of Appeals issued its opinion today in Flatt v. Claiborne County Hosp. and Nursing Home, No. E2009-01341-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Apr. 8, 2010). The case was tried to the bench because it was a GTLA case. The trial court held for the defense; it did so based upon the issue of standard of care.
