        613.15  INJURY OR DEATH OF SPOUSE OR PARENT -- MEASURE
      OF RECOVERY.
         In any action for damages because of the wrongful or negligent
      injury or death of a woman, there shall be no disabilities or
      restrictions, and recovery may be had on account thereof in the same
      manner as in cases of damage because of the wrongful or negligent
      injury or death of a man.  In addition she, or her administrator for
      her estate, may recover for physician's services, nursing and
      hospital expense, and in the case of both women and men, such person,
      or the appropriate administrator, may recover the value of services
      and support as spouse or parent, or both, as the case may be, in such
      sum as the jury deems proper; provided, however, recovery for these
      elements of damage may not be had by the spouse and children, as
      such, of any person who, or whose administrator, is entitled to
      recover same.
