Opinion
MARLER, J.
After the jury returned a special verdict finding defendants Walter E. Howen, M.D., and Lodi Community Hospital not negligent in a medical malpractice case, the plaintiff, Ola Dickison, moved for a new trial. The court denied the motion. Plaintiff appeals from the judgment entered in favor of defendants, contending the trial court abused its discretion in permitting Dr. Howen to amend his list of expert witnesses, and that the judgment must be reversed because the verdict is contrary to the evidence. We affirm.
