D. F. Walsh, J.
(dissenting). I must respectfully dissent. Since the election to submit to arbitration *115is voluntary and . may be revoked by the patient within 60 days after execution of the agreement, MCL 600.5041; MSA 27A.5041,1 am not persuaded that the legislation which authorizes the arbitration and provides for the composition of the arbitration panel can be ruled to be unconstitutional. Whether the circumstances under which the arbitration agreement is executed are so coercive as to destroy the validity of the contract is a fact question which should be determined on a case-by-case basis.
I would affirm the trial court’s grant of accelerated judgment.
