KIMBERLY AND TODD THIBODEAUX, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF THEIR MINOR CHILD, GABRIELLE THIBODEAUX v. JAMES F. DONNELL, M.D.
I concur in the result of the majority decision. However, I write separately to express my concern that the majority opinion creates a standard that could lend itself to inconsistent interpretations. Although the majority demurred from overturning Coco v. Winston Industries Inc., 341 So. 2d 332 (La. 1976), I question the vitality of the principles set forth therein, which appear to be judicially created and not firmly based upon statutory law or established precedent.
GUIDRY, J., concurs in the result and assigns reasons.
