Description
PER CURIAM. Joyce Parker and her husband, Joseph Parker, sued Dr. Wyatt E. Collins and Chattahoochee Valley Hospital Society, Inc., doing
business as George H. Lanier Memorial Hospital and Nursing Home (hereinafter referred to as "Lanier Memorial Hospital"), alleging
that Dr. Collins negligently performed a mammogram upon Mrs. Parker and that he then negligently interpreted the test results
to be negative. The Parkers alleged that Lanier Memorial Hospital breached a contractual obligation to provide them with quality
radiology service and claimed that the hospital was vicariously liable for Dr. Collins's actions. The Parkers sought damages
for medical expenses, non-economic damage, and loss of consortium. The defendants answered, pleading contributory negligence
and intervening cause as affirmative defenses. At the close of the plaintiffs' evidence, the trial court directed verdicts
in favor of both defendants. The Parkers appeal from the judgment based on those directed verdicts.
