14 Appellant also suffers from hemiparesis on his left side, attributable to the tumor, for which he receives physical therapy. As a result of the weakness, some normal activities in which he had been accustomed to engage are no longer available to him. In addition, there is no function in his right eyelid, which also affects his appearance. 3 Such limitations are a reasonable alternative basis for depression. Thus the connection between any negligence on Appellees' part and the injuries is, in fact, not as obvious as Appellant would have us believe.
Speculative causality is insufficient to defeat a motion for summary judgment.
It is at this juncture that the content of Appellant's expert reports becomes critical. The reports were prepared by Dr. Roger Farber, a neurologist. There is no question that the titanium was necessary to maintain him and allow him to function as he is now, but psychiatrically his reaction is one of obvious dismay and depression to having this. I think this is the major problem. The pain problem is another problem that is present and is one that I think he is living with and has to live with on an indefinite basis.
