““The burden on the party seeking summary judgment is a strict one. The trial court is required to resolve all facts and inferences which may reasonably be drawn from the evidence in favor of the party against whom the ruling is sought. Summary judgment is appropriate when the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as á matter of law.” Mitzner v. State Dept. of SRS, 257 Kan. 258, 260 , 891 P.2d 435 (1995).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Patients having an unexpected result from surgery are not required to immediately determine whether it was the result of malpractice. [Citation omitted.] Similarly, a decedent’s heirs at law are not required to presume that the death was the result of negligence. A distraught surviving spouse or other heir cannot reasonably be expected to immediately begin investigating the cause of death in the absence of some reason to believe that malpractice occurred. See Fure . . . .” 21 Kan. App. 2d at 228-29 .”
