On Petition to Rehear
Plaintiff-in-error, John Oscar Wilson, has filed an earnest petition to rehear. Petitioner insists we were in error in holding respondent was subrogated to the rights of petitioner against any third party that may be liable for his medical expenses.
Petitioner insists, as he did at the original hearing, the agreement executed by the petitioner was an assignment and not a subrogation agreement.
 Thus, the petition points out no matter of fact or law overlooked, but only re-argues a matter which able Counsel insists was improperly decided, after argument and full consideration. Such petition presents no ground for a rehearing.
“The office of a petition to rehear is to call the attention of the court to matters overlooked, not to those things which the counsel supposes were improperly decided after full consideration.” Logan v. Reaves, 209 Tenn. 631, 354 S.W.2d 789 (1962).
The petition is denied at petitioner’s cost.
