Heading: The Stranger Doctrine

Text: Baptist next asserts that it cannot be liable for tortious interference because it is not a stranger to appellees' relationships with their patients. Again, because Baptist raises this argument for the first time on appeal, we will not consider it. Baptist claims that it raised the argument at the February 26, 2004, hearing before the circuit court; however, as previously noted, although directed to do so by this court, Baptist failed to abstract the legal arguments presented at the hearing. We have been resolute and consistent in holding that all material information must be included in the abstract and that we will not be placed in the position of having seven justices scour the one record for absent information.
