The jury exonerated all other defendants except Dr. Sheffield (appellant) against whom it returned a verdict for $100,000 actual and $2,500 punitive damages. Judgment was accordingly entered. Challenged by Dr. Sheffields appeal is the trial courts action in allowing into evidence testimony concerning Dr. Sheffields former drug abuse problem and granting and refusing certain jury instructions. We reverse.
