1Opinion of the CourtMary W. Sheffield, J.
This is an appeal from the dismissal of a petition seeking damages for medical negligence. Cindy Sillyman (“Silly-man”) sued Dr. David O. Barbe (“Dr. Barbe”) and St. John’s Physicians and Clinics, Inc. (“St. John’s”; collectively “Defendants”), for the wrongful death of her 20-year-old son Derick Stoops (“Stoops”). The trial court entered a judgment dismissing the petition without prejudice because Sillyman failed to file a medical expert affidavit that complied with the requirements of Section 538.225.3. 1 Sillyman appeals. We disagree with her argument and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
