Court of Special Appeals of Maryland February 5, 1981, 676, September Term, 1980 (Stevens v. Union Memorial Hospital)

Gilbert, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This appeal seeks to make

res ipsa loquitur

viable in an alleged medical malpractice case. We are asked by the infant appellant, Lisa Marie Stevens, to hold that

res ipsa loquitur

has a place in medical malpractice claims, notwithstanding prior decisions by the Court of Appeals and this Court to the contrary.
