NEUMAN, Justice.

Plaintiff Robin Strain has a son, Adam, who suffers from brain damage. Strain sued the physician attending Adam's birth, defendant Wayne Heinssen, for his alleged negligence stemming from prescribing drugs to induce labor, failure to perform a caesarean section, and failure to observe signs of fetal oxygen depletion. After a ten-day trial, a jury hearing the evidence in support of Strain's claim returned a verdict in Dr. Heinssen's favor.
