Caldararo Ex Rel. Caldararo v. Vanderbilt University

OPINION

KOCH, Judge.

This appeal involves a nursing malpractice action against Vanderbilt University. It was filed in the Circuit Court for Davidson County by the wife of a patient who suffered severe brain damage while hospitalized at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The jury returned a defendant’s verdict, and the patient’s wife has appealed, insisting that the jury foreman’s misconduct tainted the verdict. We affirm the denial of the motion for new trial because of the lack of competent evidence that either extraneous information or outside influence affected the verdict.
