LEHMAN, Justice,
dissenting.
[¶ 15] In my dissent to the initial majority opinion issued by this court, McMackin v. Johnson County Healthcare Center, 2003 WY 91, 73 P.3d 1094 (Wyo.2003), I expressed that I would affirm the ruling of the district court granting summary judgment in favor of ■appellees. I reached this conclusion because appellant failed to present any expert opinion based on reliable scientific foundation and, thus, the majority’s reliance on the “loss of chance” doctrine was misplaced. Relying on this same foundation, I must accordingly again respectfully dissent with the majority’s reasoning as I continue to believe this case is not an appropriate case for the application of the “loss of chance” doctrine.
