Description

This is an appeal from the trial courts dismissal of appellants medical malpractice case against appellee on the grounds that appellants expert report did not satisfy the requirements of the Medical Liability and Insurance Improvement Act ("the Act"). In the underlying lawsuit, appellants sued three doctors and Southwest Methodist Hospital, alleging, in part, that the hospital nurses negligence resulted in a delay in diagnosis that caused Guadalupe M. Rodriguezs condition to deteriorate. Appellants contend the delay in diagnosis delayed the discovery of a cerebral hemorrhage. According to appellants, if the hemorrhage had been discovered and treated sooner, Ms. Rodriguezs neurological deterioration and death could have been averted. We reverse and remand.
