5.  Sandra K. Hicks, Adm’x v. David A. Ghaphery, M.D., et al.  - 30088 - The petitioner, Sandra K. Hicks, Administratrix, appeals from orders  granting the motion of respondent Wheeling Hospital for summary judgment and denying the petitioner's motion for a new trial with regard to respondent David A. Ghaphery, M.D. The petitioner's decedent died as the result of an accident in which the decedent's motorcycle was struck by another vehicle. The jury determined that the petitioner was entitled to damages from the driver of the other vehicle.  The petitioner contends that the respondent hospital and physician, who treated the decedent immediately after the accident, were also responsible for the decedent's death.
