Konah Evangeline Buckman, Mother And Next Of Kin Of Edward Kofi Sasa Lenox Buckman A/K/A Edward Welsely, Deceased v. Mountain States Health Alliance, Et Al. - Concurring

I concur, reluctantly, with the entirety of the opinion of the Court. I concur because this is the result mandated by statute and case law. I do so reluctantly because this case is the latest in a long line of healthcare liability actions dismissed on technical grounds since the enactment of the sections of the Health Care Liability Act governing pre-suit notice adopted by our General Assembly in 2008. This Court has seen healthcare liability case after case brought by Tennessee citizens dismissed without any determination of whether the case has any merit.
