Description

Decedents estate brought medical malpractice action against doctor, nurse, and hospital claiming that they improperly and prematurely attempted to wean decedent from respirator thereby causing her death. The 136th District Court, Jefferson County, Jack R. King, J., granted summary judgment for defendants. The Beaumont Court of Appeals, Ninth Judicial District, Jack Brookshire, J., 883 S.W.2d 779, reversed holding that material issue of fact as to causation precluded summary judgment. Defendants appealed. The Supreme Court, Spector, J., held that: (1) decedents estate timely perfected their original appeal, and (2) defendants could not be held liable for causing decedents death since uncontroverted evidence established that decedent only had 40% chance of survival even before attempt to wean her from respirator.
