I agree that the defendants presented sufficient evidence in support of their summary judgment motion and that the plaintiff failed to present sufficient evidence in opposition. The plaintiff's expert would not testify that he was familiar with the standard of care regarding the risks of which a person should be apprised when seeking an abortion; he did not testify that the defendants breached the standard of care in obtaining S.A.'s consent; and he testified that he would not apprise his patients of the risk of hysterectomy or sterilization "in such elaborate details in all patients." Thus, I concur in the affirmance of the summary judgment. In respect to the majority opinion's citations to Pruitt v. Zeiger, 590 So.2d 236 (Ala. 1991), and Rudolph v. Lindsay, 626 So.2d 1278 (Ala. 1993), I continue to hold the views expressed in my special concurrence in Rudolph v. Lindsay.
SHORES, J., concurs. *Page 398
