A woman was hit by a car and complained of injuries to her leg, knee, hip, and thigh. She was taken to the nearest hospital, where, on the orders of a physician, she received X-rays of her arm and pelvis. No X-ray was taken of her leg, and she was released from the hospital on crutches. The pain in her leg increased, and she went to another hospital some hours later, where an X-ray was taken and revealed that her leg was fractured. She was admitted to the second hospital and remained an inpatient for a month. Ten days after admission to the second hospital, she received a letter from the first hospital telling her to return for a leg X-ray. She sued the first hospital and the radiologist. Does the radiologist, who never saw her, have a contractual relationship with the patient?

The patient was right in suing the hospital…
A 15 year old student athlete returns to school after an absence of 3 weeks because of mononucleosis. A student walking toward him, carrying a box of books, happened to strike the student athlete in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen, knocking him off balance and to the ground. The student apologized, and the athlete went to his next class, where he noted onset of pain in his left shoulder. He went to his next class, and then to baseball practice where he was anxious to again workout with his teammates. He was concerned that he might exacerbate the apparent shoulder injury, however, so he told his coach about it. The coach suggested that he give it another day of rest, and asked how he was feeling. The athlete responded that he was not feeling as good as he had when he came to school, saying “Maybe I tried to do too much, too soon, because I’m actually getting weak.” The coach remarked that he looked a little pale, and suggested that he go into the Training Room and lay down.
