THE ISSUE
This appeal brings up for review another of the problems spawned in the wake of Dole v. Dow Chem. Co. (30 N Y 2d 143). Specifically, the question here is whether an alleged successive tort-feasor may utilize Dole in order to seek an apportionment of damages from a prior alleged tort-feasor. We hold, under the factual circumstances here present, that it may not be so utilized and therefore reverse the order appealed from and dismiss the third-party complaint.
THE FACTS
On July 30,1966 plaintiff Dorothy Zillman was treated in the emergency room of defendant Meadowbrook Hospital Co., Inc.…
