COMPTON, Justice.

In this medical malpractice case, we limited the issues on appeal, adducing two questions for decision. The dispositive issue is whether the trial court erred in restricting the scope of the discovery deposition of a member of a medical malpractice review panel. The other issue is whether the trial court erred, when confronted with an objection on constitutional grounds, in admitting the panel's opinion into evidence at trial.
