The court's record, as written
982467 Ligon v. Southside Cardiology Assoc. 09/17/1999 In this medical negligence case the trial court erred in admitting "habit" evidence from medical personnel to prove that a patient did not complain of pain on a specific occasion and that the defendant's treatment of the patient conformed to his routine practice. The trial court's judgment is reversed and the case remanded for a new trial in accordance with the principles expressed in the opinion.
