WEST BOCA MEDICAL CENTER, INC., d/b/a West Boca Medical Center; and Variety Children's Hospital, d/b/a Miami Children's Hospital, Appellees.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Philip M. Burlington and Andrew A. Harris of Burlington & Rockenbach, P.A., West Palm Beach, and Linda A. Alley of Schlesinger Law Offices, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellants.

Michael K. Mittelmark and Meghan K. Zavoina of Michaud, Mittelmark, Marowitz & Asrani, P.L.L.C., Boca Raton, for appellee West Boca Medical Center, Inc., d/b/a West Boca Medical Center.

Elliot H. Scherker , Julissa Rodriguez and Stephanie L. Varela of Greenberg Traurig, P.A., Miami, and Norman M. Waas and Scott E. Solomon of Falk, Waas, Hernandez, Cortina, Solomon & Bonner, P.A., Coral Gables, for appellee Variety Children's Hospital, d/b/a Miami Children's Hospital.


This is a sad case which emphasizes that bad things sometimes just happen in life and it is nobody's fault. We affirm on all counts but write to distinguish the facts of this case as they relate to expert physician testimony from those in Saunders v. Dickens, 151 So.3d 434
