SMITH, Justice.

These two petitions for the writ of mandamus, which have been consolidated for purposes of issuing one opinion, involve separate actions against Fairfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, L.L.C. (“Fair-field”), in the Jefferson Circuit Court. The trial court entered an order in both actions requiring Fairfield to produce certain documents that Fairfield asserts are privileged under § 22-21-8, Ala.Code 1975, and therefore not subject to discovery.
