Medical Malpractice: Pro Se Plaintiff's Case Dismissed Via Summary Judgment

The Eastern Section of the Tennessee Court of Appeals just issued its opinion in Luna v. Deversa, No. E2009-01198-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Jun. 17, 2010). The plaintiff was pro se and failed to obtain expert testimony to rebut the summary judgment motions that were filed on behalf of the defendants. The trial court granted the defendants' motions and its ruling was upheld on appeal.

Here's a link to the opinion:
