HAHN v. MIRDA
Husband had viable independent cause of action for loss of consortium based on his wife's negligence and fraudulent concealment causes of action against her former physicians where wife, in negligence cause of action, alleged defendants were her physicians who "negligently cared for, diagnosed and treated" her and "failed to exercise the standard of care and skill ordinarily possessed and reasonably required of physicians," and that as a "proximate result of such negligence and carelessness" she was injured in her health, strength and activity and has sustained injury to her body and shock and injury to her nervous system and person...; and in fraudulent concealment cause of action, alleged defendants knew she did not have recurrent breast cancer but intentionally kept that fact from her in order to defraud her, and as a result caused her to suffer monetary damages and to live for more than two years believing she had a fatal disease.
