1Opinion of the Court
HOWARD, Judge:
This case arises from the trial of a medical negligence action brought by Timothy and Brenda James (the Jameses) which resulted in a $1,500,000 jury verdict against Conway Hospital (Conway). Conway appeals the post trial denial of their motion to alter or amend judgment to conform to the statutorily mandated recovery cap for charitable organizations of $200,000 set by S.C.Code Ann. § 33-55-210 (1990). 1 Conway also appeals the admission of expert testimony regarding future damages and the trial court’s denial of Conway’s motion for directed verdict. We affirm.
