1Opinion of the CourtRussell, J.
Three questions are presented by this appeal from a plaintiffs judgment in an action for dental malpractice: (1) whether the court erred in limiting the dentist’s evidence concerning other patients treated on the day of the alleged malpractice; (2) whether it was error to preclude an expert witness from relating, as the basis for his opinion, the hearsay opinions of others; and (3) whether it was error to admit proof of plaintiffs medical bills without foundation evidence that they were a necessary consequence of the defendant’s negligence.
