Summary
The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the summary judgment in favor of Park Place Hospital, Dr. Zuzukin, and Nurse Jones, holding that the defendants defeated causation as a matter of law. The Court also clarified that the appellate deadline for a summary judgment begins when the judgment is issued, not when a later severance order is signed.
