Heading: stipulated medical expenses

Text: Without agreeing that the designated medical services were connected to the automobile accident of August 29, 1985, or that such expenses were necessary as a result of the accident, the lawyers for the parties signed a stipulation, exhibit 16, regarding the fair and reasonable charges for 12 items of expense in the total of $3,665.70. With the exception of the $176.61 charge for Joyce Renne's ambulance transportation to St.Elizabeth, the balance of the stipulated medical expenses related to doctor and hospital charges incurred by Renne at some time unspecified in the stipulation. Although exhibit 16 was received into evidence, there was no explanatory evidence presented that the medical expenses itemized on exhibit 16 were the result of Renne's automobile accident.
