Oops! Jackson County Hospital is correct. We should have addressed the issue here addressed in the opinion inJackson County Hospital v. Alabama Hospital Association Trust,619 So.2d 1369 (1993), but we did not. However, our failure to address at all there the issue here presented cannot be construed as resolving that issue in favor of Jackson County Hospital. There is a plethora of authorities holding that there is no coverage in similar factual situations, and those authorities persuade me that there is no coverage in this case:St. Paul Mercury Ins.
