Description
Plaintiffs (respondents) Wilma Corey, widow of the decedent, Grant E. Corey, and Kay Holman, Charles Corey, Don Corey and
Grant Corey, children of the decedent, brought this action to recover damages against defendant (appellant) Dr. W. Wray Wilson,
alleging that on February 22, 1965, Grant E. Corey died as a result of defendant's negligence. Defendant, a medical doctor, had been decedent's physician since 1958. In 1963 an operation was performed by defendant and
other physicians resulting in removal of decedent's appendix and gall bladder. Defendant was in charge of the operation. It
is undisputed that during the operation a hemostat was left inside decedent's body. Defendant continued to treat decedent
until February 18, 1965, when decedent complained of severe abdominal pains. X-rays were taken which for the first time revealed
the presence of the hemostat within decedent's body. Decedent was then 63 years old and had had a history of diabetes, rheumatic
fever and heart attacks. He died on February 22, 1965.
