Rosemarie Poliseno COSTANZO, Appellant, v. AGENCY RENT-A-CAR, INC., and John Stephen Ciolkosz, Appellees.
    No. 88-0900.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    April 11, 1990.
    Rehearing Denied May 30, 1990.
    
      Philip M. Burlington of Edna L. Caruso, P.A., and James D. Wilkerson of Schuler & Wilkerson, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Marjorie Gadarian Graham, of Marjorie Gadarian Graham, P.A., and Alan C. Espy of Sellars, Supran, Cole, Marion & Espy, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellees.
   PER CURIAM.

Reversed and remanded for a new trial. We agree with appellant that the trial court erred in allowing appellees to bolster the credibility of its expert witness by the use of a medical treatise, and in admitting improper impeachment evidence against one of appellant’s medical experts. See Chorzelewski v. Drucker, 546 So.2d 1118 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989); 3-M Corp.—McGhan Med. Reports v. Brown, 475 So.2d 994 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985).

DOWNEY and ANSTEAD, JJ., concur.

LETTS, J., dissents without opinion.
