Barbara Baty v. Olga Futrell, Crna, and Complete Anesthesia Care, P.c.

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s dismissal of Baty’s medical‑malpractice claim, holding that the lower court abused its discretion in finding Dr. Chalfin’s expert report insufficient under the Texas Medical Liability Act. The Court affirmed that the proper standard of review is abuse of discretion and concluded that the expert report adequately satisfied the statutory requirements for the standard‑of‑care, breach, and causation elements.
