Hawkins Ex Rel. Camp v. Mauney

*468 Pee Curiam. Only one exception appears in the record in this appeal. The defendant excepted to an instruction by the court to the jury with respect to the second issue. With respect to this issue, the court instructed the jury in effect that they should include in their answer to the second issue any sum which they should find from the evidence was expended by the plaintiff for medical care and nursing which she received because of her injuries. There was evidence at the trial tending to show that the plaintiff borrowed from the uncle of her husband the sum of $142.50, which she paid to the physician who attended her while she was in the hospital because of her injuries, and that she, as principal, and her husband and mother, as sureties, executed a note for that sum payable to her husband’s uncle. This note has not been paid. There was no evidence tending to show that the sum of $142.50 was an unreasonable or excessive charge for the services rendered to the plaintiff by her physician. The plaintiff, although a minor and a married woman, assumed personal liability for the expenses incurred by her for medical care and nursing. For this reason she was entitled to recover of the defendant the sum expended by her for that purpose. There was no error in the instruction. See Bitting v. Goss, 203 N. C., 424, 166 S. E., 302; Cole v. Wagner, 191 N. C., 692, 150 S. E., 339; and Bowen v. Daugherty, 168 N. C., 242, 84 S. E., 265. The judgment is affirmed. Ho error.
