Description
Deborah Lynn Burns, a minor, and her parents, Doyle Burns and Phyllis Burns, sued Cardinal Glennon Hospital for Children, Thomas E. Veser, M.D., G. D. Searle and Company, and six "John Doe" physicians, for professional negligence, in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis. Cardinal Glennon Hospital filed a Separate Motion to Dismiss alleging, in part, that plaintiffs petition should be dismissed because of their failure to comply with Chapter 538, RSMo Supp. 1976, before filing their petition in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis. On November 2, 1977, the trial court overruled the Separate Motion to Dismiss and effectively held Chapter 538 unconstitutional. On December 19, 1977, this Court issued its Provisional Rule in Prohibition ordering the Honorable Carl R. Gaertner, Judge, Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, to show cause why a writ of prohibition should not issue prohibiting him from taking further action against Cardinal Glennon Hospital. The Attorney General and the Executive Secretary of the Professional Liability Review Board Authority were given leave to intervene. If Chapter 538 is constitutional, our provisional rule should be made absolute. If Chapter 538 is unconstitutional, our provisional rule should be quashed.
