Carley, Chief Judge,
concurring specially.
I concur in the judgment. With specific regard to Division 1 of the majority opinion, I cannot agree with the analysis of the majority upon which it bases its conclusion that the original affidavit was not sufficient, but that the amendment was permissible under St. Joseph’s Hosp. v. Nease, 259 Ga. 153 (377 SE2d 847) (1989). To the contrary, I believe that the trial court correctly refused to dismiss the complaint because the original affidavit was sufficient in that it properly adopted or incorporated by reference the specific facts set forth in the complaint. See OCGA § 9-11-10 (c).
I am authorized to state that Presiding Judge McMurray joins in this special concurrence.
