SAM D. JOHNSON,
Justice dissenting.
This dissent is respectfully submitted.
As set forth in this writer’s dissenting opinion in Dr. C. F. Sparger v. Worley Hospital, Inc., et al., Tex., 547 S.W.2d 582 handed down this same date, this writer would retain the historic position of this state as represented by Harle v. Krchnak, 422 S.W.2d 810 (Tex.Civ.App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1967, writ ref’d n.r.e.), and McKinney v. Tromly, 386 S.W.2d 564 (Tex.Civ. App.—Tyler 1964, writ ref’d n.r.e.), and hold that an operating surgeon may be liable for any negligence occurring in the operating theater.
