Garza v. Levin

OPINION

NYE, Chief Justice.

Appellant, Maria Garza (Garza), filed a medical malpractice action against appellee, Dr. Phillip Levin. The trial court granted a take-nothing judgment in favor of Dr. Lev-in. We affirm.

On October 25, 1984, Maria Garza went to the emergency room at Alice Physician’s and Surgeon’s Hospital. Dr. Levin diagnosed Garza as having gastritis. He treated her and discharged her from the hospital later that afternoon. The same day, Garza went to the emergency room at Spohn Hospital where she underwent an emergency appendectomy for a ruptured appendix.
