Appellate Court of Illinois, Third District.

February 7, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard J. Trinrud, argued, Jeffrey C. McDaniel, Anderson & Nelson, Rock Island, for Barbara Timberlake.

Douglas Olson, argued, McGehee, Boling, Whitmire, Olson & Pepping, Ltd., Silvis, for Illini Hospital.

Justice SLATER delivered the opinion of the court:

We reluctantly conclude that section 13-217 bars plaintiff's claim.
