In the Court of Appeals of Georgia A24A0378. THE MEDICAL CENTER OF CENTRAL GEORGIA, INC. et al v. NORKESIA TURNER et al.

DILLARD, Presiding Judge.

In Medical Center of Central Georgia, Inc. v. Turner1 (“Turner I”), this Court

affirmed a jury verdict in favor of Norkesia Turner in her medical-malpractice and

wrongful-death action against the Medical Center of Central Georgia and some of its

medical staff. Then, in Medical Center of Central Georgia, Inc. v. Turner,2 (“Turner

II”), the Supreme Court of Georgia vacated our decision in Turner I and remanded

the case to us with instructions to return it to the trial court for that court to rule on

certain constitutional questions detailed by our Supreme Court in Turner II. As a

1 372 Ga. App. 644 (905 SE2d 858) (2024). 2 __ Ga. __ (917 SE2d 697) (2025). result, we adopt the Supreme Court of Georgia’s opinion in Turner II as our own,

vacate the judgment of the trial court, and remand the case for further proceedings

consistent with that opinion.

Judgment vacated and case remanded with direction. Brown, C.J., and Padgett, J.,

concur.
