Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s summary‑judgment ruling for Dr. Calderwood and Huntsville Clinic, holding that the plaintiff failed to present substantial evidence of proximate causation linking the administration of Demerol to the decedent’s death. The Court emphasized that expert testimony must show a probable, not merely possible, causal relationship.
