GENOVESE, Judge.

In this medical malpractice case, Plaintiffs appeal a jury verdict finding that they failed to meet their burden of proving the applicable standard of care. For the following reasons, we find that a reasonable factual basis does not exist to support the jury verdict and that the record establishes that the jury verdict is clearly wrong and manifestly erroneous. Accordingly, we reverse the jury verdict and render judgment.
