JUSTICE CLARK, dissenting: For the reasons I stated in my dissent in DeLuna v. St. Elizabeth’s Hospital (1992), 147 Ill. 2d 57, I respect- fully dissent in this case. I believe that section 2 — 622 of the Code of Civil Procedure (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987, ch. 110, par. 2 — 622) is unconstitutional in that it violates the separation of powers clause of the Illinois Constitution (Ill. Const. 1970, art. II, §1). JUSTICES BILANDIC and FREEMAN join in this dissent.
