Court of Appeals of Texas

1Opinion of the Court

CORNELIUS, Chief Justice.

This is a medical malpractice case in which a take-nothing summary judgment was rendered against the plaintiff Ham-monds and in favor of the defendants, Dr. Sellers Thomas, Dr. John McKechnie, and Methodist Hospital. In three points of error, Hammonds alleges that the doctors’ summary judgment affidavits were insufficient to support summary judgment, and that his controverting affidavits raised genuine issues of fact but were improperly excluded from consideration by the trial court. We agree, and reverse and remand the cause against the doctors for trial.
