Head Matter:
Stacy PRICE, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Barry Price, deceased, for and on behalf of claimants/survivors, the Estate of Barry Price, Stacy Price, Paul Price, Elaine Gadrich, Robyn Price and Lori Drennan, Appellants, v. JFK MEDICAL CENTER, INC., a Florida corporation, Appellee.
No. 91-0025.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Feb. 26, 1992.
Rehearing Denied April 7, 1992.
Arnold R. Ginsberg, Perse, P.A., & Ginsberg, P.A., and Broad and Cassel and Spec-tor & Fogarty, P.A., Miami, for appellants.
Philip D. Parrish and Robert M. Klein, Stephens, Lynn, Klein & McNicholas, P.A., Miami, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
In this medical negligence and wrongful death action, the trial court found as a matter of law that the allegedly negligent anesthesiologist was an independent contractor, not an agent or employee of the defendant hospital. We reverse the summary judgment entered in favor of JFK Medical Center because the relationship between hospital and doctor, as here, is often unclear and raises a question for the jury. Public Health Trust of Dade County v. Valcin, 507 So.2d 596 (Fla.1987); see also Garcia v. Tarrio, 380 So.2d 1068 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980).
REVERSED AND REMANDED for further proceedings consistent herewith.
HERSEY, GUNTHER and FARMER, JJ., concur.
