- 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?arrow_forwardA woman was hit by a car and complained of injuries to her leg, knee, hip, and thigh.
