Exercise 16

Use your critical-thinking skills to answer the questions that follow each of the case studies.
Dan, a medical office assistant in a busy clinic, is a sympathetic and understanding employee. Therefore, when an elderly patient complained to him that she "felt terrible most of the time," Dan consoled her. "Don't worry, Mrs. Smith," he told the woman. "Dr. Jones will make you feel better in no time."
If so, can Mrs. Smith sue Dr. Jones if he fails to fulfill the "terms" of the contract? Explain your answer.
