       As stated in the Court’s opinion of this date, we affirm that part of the trial court’s judgment
dismissing Welch’s claims against Good Shepherd, but we reverse the trial court’s judgment as to
the award of attorney fees and remand this cause to the trial court for a redetermination of attorney
fees consistent with this opinion.
       We further order that the appellant, Welch, shall pay eighty percent of the costs and
appellee, Christus Good Shepherd Medical Center-Marshall, shall pay twenty percent of all costs
of appeal.
