District Court of Appeal of Florida

A hospital's petition for writ of certiorari is denied over its claim that the trial judge departed from the essential requirements of law when he found respondent-s cause of action did not sound in medical malpractice, but instead in ordinary negligence, thus eliminating the necessity that respondent comply with the applicable presuit requirements.
