Description
The plaintiff-appellants, John and Kellie Gubler, brought a medical malpractice action against the defendant-respondents, Dr. Roger Boe and the Pocatello Children and Adolescent Clinic, P.A., a professional association, for failure to detect and treat a urinary tract infection and urinary tract obstruction in their newborn child, Jake Gubler. The district court ruled that the Gublers expert witness, Dr. Tune, had not familiarized himself with the standard of care in the Pocatello "community" during 1983 and therefore, under I.C. § 6-1012, he was unqualified to testify as to Dr. Boes alleged breach of that standard of care. The district court, after once delaying the trial, refused a request for an additional continuance for Dr. Tune to further try to qualify himself and, on defendants motion, the court entered an order of dismissal. The district court also denied the Gublers motion for a new trial. Plaintiffs appealed. We affirm the judgment of the district court.
