The following excerpt is from Rainer v. Community Memorial Hosp., 18 Cal.App.3d 240, 95 Cal.Rptr. 901 (Cal. App. 1971):
Finally, plaintiff asserts that the forms of verdicts submitted to the jury were confusing and that fact, coupled with no instruction as to how they were to be used, resulted in a verdict or verdicts requiring reversal under Mixon v. Riverview Hospital (1967) 254 Cal.App.2d 364, [18 Cal.App.3d 264] 62 Cal.Rptr. 379. We disagree. To begin with the postulate 'non-instruction concerning the verdicts' is manifestly untrue. Furthermore, there is no showing, whatsoever, that the jury was confused.
