HOFFMAN, Judge:
I concur for the reasons stated in my Concurring Opinion in Staub v. Southwest Butler County School District, 263 Pa.Super. 413, 421, 398 A.2d 204, 208 (1979). I also note that *461because plaintiff has filed a claim before the Arbitration Panel, the malpractice claim will now be pressed by two different claimants in two different forums. A greater waste of judicial and medical resources cannot be imagined. If we are to remain wedded to the Arbitration Panels, then I repeat my call to the Legislature to amend the Health Care Services and Malpractice Act and require that all claims of medical malpractice must be tried before a Panel.
