1. “The most logical explanation for the award based on our review of the record is that the jurors were convinced that plaintiff had sustained no objective injuries as a result of her hospitalization at St. Jude and treatment by Dr. Frank and intended only to award plaintiff a reimbursement or refund for her dissatisfaction with the medical services. The jury was presented with mixed factual circumstances and medical testimony.... Like the juries in Olivier and Tchiblakian, the jury concluded that there were no objective injuries sustained by plaintiff as a result of her hospitalization for which to compensate plaintiff. The jury's finding is reasonable and will not be disturbed on appeal.”
