1Opinion of the Court
DAVIS, Commissioner.
In this malpractice action Robert H. Walden seeks to recover damages from Dr. Peter H. Jones, Dr. Leslie W. Blakey, and Dr. Colby N. Cowherd, based upon his claim that they negligently failed to diagnose his condition and thereby deprived him of the opportunity of submitting to an immediate operation to relieve a paralytic condition which he now suffers. The trial court directed a verdict for the doctors at the conclusion of the evidence in behalf of the plaintiff. This appeal challenges the ruling of the trial court in directing the verdict.
