OPINION

OSBORN, Chief Justice.

Our opinion and judgment issued on November 26, 1986, are withdrawn and the following is the opinion of the Court.

Does a hospital treating a voluntarily admitted mental patient have a duty to the general public to keep the patient confined so as to prevent an injury to a member of the general public? We conclude that there was no duty in this case and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
