Syllabus

The trial court properly granted appellees' motions for summary judgment where appellant failed to deliver her 180-day letter giving notice to appellees of her intent to file a medical malpractice case against them. Absent the 180-day extension, appellant did not file her claim within the statute of limitations so that her suit is time barred. The trial court properly granted summary judgment in favor of appellee, a hospital, which was not vicariously liable for work performed by doctors because appellant sought the service of her doctors, not the hospital itself.
