The Willamette Spine Center, LLC (WSC) leased a medical office building and sublet space in the building to various medical providers. Signs on and near the building identified it as WSC, and one sign included a logo. David Eads sought treatment for back pain from chiropractor Michael Freeman, whose office was in the building. Another tenant, Dr. Frederick Tiley, shared space in the building and collected rent from Dr. Timothy Borman. Freeman referred Eads to Borman, who operated on Eads at a local hospital and injured his spinal cord, leaving him partially paralyzed. Some physicians from WSC had advertised in the yellow pages using the term "WSC providers" and the logo, but Borman was not one of them. Borman's charges were billed to his individual professional accounts. Eads sued WSC alleging that Borman was its apparent agent. Should the court find an agency?
