Thomas v. Raleigh General Hospital

BROTHERTON, Justice:

This is an appeal by David E. Thomas from two summary judgments of the Circuit Court of Raleigh County. Thomas filed an action against Raleigh General Hospital, Dr. Joseph J. Carozza, and Di*. Elias H. Isaac for medical malpractice. The allegations by Thomas alleged active negligence only by Dr. Carozza, but none by Raleigh General Hospital or Dr. Isaac.

Nevertheless, the trial court found no vicarious liability and dismissed the two defendants, from which ruling Thomas appeals.
