a)    Metal wire was left in woman’s heart.  Her family was never told about the wire; doctors made a fictitious need for surgery to remove the wire, but still didn’t tell the family.  Family was told later of wire by anonymous letter.  Woman died.
b)    B’s claim that expert could not prove that blood clot caused ?’s death.  Expert was an anesthesiologist and not a hematologist and ?s argued he was qualified to testify regarding the blood clot.
c)    Texas–a doctor does not need to have a particular specialty in order to testify regarding a problem in a particular specialty.
d)    B’s claim that the testimony was not based on “Reasonable Medical Probability.”  It is not simply saying it is more likely than not.  The doctor has to explain how he arrived at that particular opinion.
e)    B’s claim no proximate cause b/c no autopsy, nor wire.  Court said that ?s could not say it wasn’t possible to have these things b/c they destroyed all of the evidence.   They established what happened to the patient and that more likely than not, the wires caused the blood clot.
