UNIVERSITY HEALTH SHREVEPORT
On Supervisory Writ to the 1st Judicial District Court, Parish of Caddo
PER CURIAM
The judgment of the court of appeal is reversed insofar as it excludes the
opinion of the medical review panel in its entirety. The district court is directed to
redact those portions of the opinion in which the panel exceeded its statutory
authority under La. R.S. 40:1231.8(G) . Subject to these redactions, the remainder
of the opinion is admissible. See McGlothlin v. Christus St. Patrick Hospital , 10-
2775 (La. 7/1/11), 65 So.3d 1218.
We also reverse the portion of the court of appeal ’s opinion excluding the
testimony of the medical review panel members. The members can testify to any
issues within the scope of their expertise.
In all other respects, the writ is denied. The case is remanded to the district
court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
