HAMBY v. NEUROLOGICAL ASSOCIATES P. C

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Zelma Hamby raises the question whether the two year statute of limitation for loss of consortium in medical malpractice cases violates equal protection. Code Ann. § 3-1102. The statute of limitation is four years for all other loss of consortium actions. Code Ann. § 3-1004. She concedes, and we agree, that the separate classification of medical malpractice actions is a rational exercise of the legislative power. Code Ann. Ch. 3-11. It thus follows that for loss of consortium arising out of medical malpractice, there is also a rational basis for different treatment.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur, except Jordan, J., who concurs in the judgment only.
