This is a medical malpractice action, instituted by complaint served on April 14, 1975, which is presently before this court on appeals from an order entered on demurrer. In the action Robert Hoven, by guardian ad litem, and Diann Hoven, Robert Hovens wife, seek to recover damages sustained as a result of injuries suffered by Robert Hoven while undergoing a lung biopsy on May 2, 1973. The defendants are St. Marys Hospital, at which the lung biopsy was performed, Dr. John Burroughs, the surgeon who performed the procedure, and Dr. John A. Kelble, the anesthesiologist. Also named as defendants are the Insurance Company of North America and the St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, liability insurers for the parties. The complaint alleges that during the lung biopsy Robert Hoven suffered a cardiac arrest and injury to his nervous system and brain tissue resulting in past, present and future medical expenses, pain, suffering, disability, and loss of income, all to his damage in the amount of $3 million. Diann Hovens damages for past, present and future loss of the society, companionship, consortium and services of Robert Hoven were alleged in the sum of $1 million.
