ROBY, WILLIAM L., Associate Judge.

We affirm on all counts but write to distinguish the facts of this case as they relate to expert physician testimony from those in Saunders v. Dickens, 151 So.3d 434 (Fla.2014), and to explain why the law as set out in Saunders does not apply to the facts in this case.
