Rodney And Tammy Henderson v. The Vanderbilt University - dissenting opinion

Syllabus

\The law of negligent infliction of emotional distress has been called 'one of the most disparate and confusing areas of tort law.'\ Lane v. Estate of Leggett, No. M2016-00448-COA-R3-CV, 2017 WL 1176982, at 3 (Tenn. Ct. App. Mar. 29, 2017) (citing Camper v. Minor, 915 S.W.2d 437, 440 (Tenn. 1996)). While this is a statement with which I agree, I must respectfully dissent from the majority opinion. I certainly do not dispute that the Plaintiffs in this case have suffered extreme emotional distress, nor do I mean to discount their grief and suffering as a result of the death of their daughter, Halle Henderson.
