Arman v. Chi St. Vincent Hot Springs

Steve Arman, acting as the special administrator of the estate of his father, Philip Lewis Arman, appeals the Garland County Circuit Court's dismissal of his tort complaint against defendants Chi St. Vincent Hot Springs and Chi St. Vincent Hospital Hot Springs (collectively St. Vincent).
