Quinn, J.
(dissenting). In view of the instructions to the jury on the liability of defendant, I dissent.
The court charged:
"I charge you that the hospital is not licensed to practice medicine and that the Mount Clemens General Hospital cannot be held liable in this matter unless you find each of the following facts:
That Dr. Fugle, in treating Laverne Grewe at the Mount Clemens General Hospital was under the control and direction of the hospital in his practice of medicine as it related to Laverne Grewe.
That Dr. Fugle, while under the control or direction of the hospital, violated the standard of practice.
That the negligence of Dr. Fugle was a proximate cause of, or was causally related to, the damages allegedly suffered by the plaintiff.”
The only basis for finding defendant hospital liable under this instruction was a finding that Dr. Fugle was liable.
I would reverse.
