Patmon v. Block

1 Two questions are presented: (1) Is Marjorie Patmons [Patmons] appeal untimely for review of the summary judgment in favor of Mercy Health Center, Inc. [the hospital] on Patmons negligent hiring and credentialing claim? and (2) Should this appeal for review of the summary judgment for Mary F. Block, M.D. [Dr. Block] on Patmons medical malpractice claim be dismissed as untimely? We answer the first question in the affirmative and the second in the negative. Plaintiffs quest for corrective relief from the trial courts summary judgment in favor of the hospital comes here too late; the trial courts summary judgment for Dr. Block is the only reviewable decision before the court.
