NIX, Chief Justice,
concurring.
I agree with the majority’s ruling upholding the Superior Court’s dismissal of Dr. Tolentino’s appeal as interlocutory. The issue raised was a question of law and can be adequately considered by an appellate tribunal in an appeal from the entry of the verdict below, if appellee ultimately prevails in that action against the doctor. Adcox v. Pennsylvania Manufacturers Association Casualty Insurance Co., 419 Pa. 170, 213 A.2d 366 (1965). In that appeal a consideration *332of the question by a reviewing court has not been foreclosed, but merely deferred to a later stage, if the question is still at issue.
I therefore concur in the judgment of the Court affirming the order of the Superior Court.
McDERMOTT and ZAPPALA, JJ, join in this opinion.
