Court properly denied motion in limine to bar evidence of financial motive to perform surgery, which plaintiff claimed was unnecessarily performed by defendant orthopedic surgeon, therefore deviating from the standard of care. Motion for new trial was denied, but the court reversed a remittitur for $100,000 because the testimony was sufficient to support jury’s award of $100,000 for non-itemized future medical expenses.
