WRIT GRANTED AND MADE PEREMPTORY:

The trial court erred in ruling hospital records from the Bayne-Jones Community Army Hospital, signed by its administrator, are inadmissable at trial without a foundation being first laid. Once LSA-R.S. 13:3714 is complied with, the records are admissible. The weight given the records is determined by the presence of expert testimony to interpret those records. Brown v.
