Durst v. Hill Country Memorial Hospital

OPINION

ALMA L. LÓPEZ, Justice.

This appeal arises from a medical malpractice suit brought by appellants Lola Mae and Clarence Durst against appellee Hill Country Memorial Hospital. We are asked to determine if the trial court erred in (1) failing to strike the testimony of Lola Mae’s treating physicians after they had ex parte contact with the hospital’s counsel, (2) permitting unqualified expert witnesses to testify, (3) not permitting the Dursts to impeach medical experts with medical literature, and (4) admitting competency reports for a treating nurse. We affirm.
