Stephanie Allen, individually and surviving spouse and next-of-kin of Donald A. Allen v. Benjamin Dehner, M.D. (concurring in part/dissenting in part)

Syllabus

In considering this appeal, the majority thoughtfully moves through the labyrinthian requirements of Tennessee health care liability actions. While the majority's analysis presents a well-considered direction to go, I cannot follow their route for its full course. Holding onto statutory language that hopefully serves the role of the thread used by Theseus in navigating out of the labyrinth, 1 I believe that the proper way back through the maze follows that statutory thread along a different path. Accordingly, I concur in part and dissent in part.
