Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This wrongful death and survival action was brought by the heirs and estate of a deceased, alleging the hospital's [252 Kan. 1065] negligent operation of its inpatient alcohol treatment unit caused the death of the patient. Plaintiffs requested a medical malpractice screening panel. More than two years after plaintiffs' decedent's death plus 30 days after the panel had filed its report, the plaintiffs filed their petition. The trial court found the action was barred by the statute of limitations. Plaintiffs appealed, claiming that because their designated member of the panel did not participate, the panel's report was void and the statute of limitations remained tolled pursuant to K.S.A. 65-4908.
