OPINION OF THE COURT
Carpinello, J.
This lawsuit stems from events surrounding the birth of plaintiff Mitchell Miller on November 1, 1995. During the child’s birth, while performing an episiotomy1 on the mother, plaintiff Stacey Murphy, defendant accidentally cut off a portion of the child’s left index finger. In the second cause of action in this medical malpractice suit, Murphy seeks to recover personally for the “psychological pain and suffering” she sustained as a result of the injury to the child. Murphy claims that Supreme Court erroneously dismissed this claim. We disagree.
