    Rodger A. FREED, Respondent, v. GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER; and Healthsouth Corporation, formerly known as Healthsouth Rehabilitation Corporation, and Healthsouth of Nittany Valley, Inc., t/d/b/a Healthsouth Nittany Valley Rehabilitation Hospital, Petitioners.
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    Aug. 2, 2007.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 2nd day of August, 2007, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:

By holding that a nurse is competent to render an opinion that a breach of the standard of care caused plaintiffs medical condition, did the Superior Court render a decision in direct conflict with Flanagan v. Labe, 547 Pa. 254, 690 A.2d 183 (1997), in which this Court held that a nurse is incompetent to render an opinion on causation in a medical malpractice action because it calls for a medical diagnosis which a nurse is statutorily prohibited from rendering?
