Sehenck v. Roger Williams General Hospital, R.I., 382 A.2d 514 (1977); Marshall v. Tomaselli, 118 R.I. 190, 372 A.2d 1280 (1977).\\nThe original diagnosis attributed the patient's abdominal pain to viral gastroenteritis. Eleven days later, another physician discovered a tender abdominal mass. Subsequent surgery disclosed a burst sigmoid colon.\\nAfter consideration of the arguments and an examination of the transcript, we believe that in matters involving viral gastroenteritis and a burst sigmoid colon, the jury had to have the assistance of expert testimony before it could properly evaluate the physician's actions. Young v. Park, R.I., 417 A.2d 889 (1980). Consequently, we grant the physician's motion to affirm the judgment entered in the Superior Court.\"}"
