Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Schwabb wears a scrub with "SARMC" on it could create the appearance of agency, which means that SARMC could potentially be held liable for Schwabb's actions. If SARMC were to accept or ratify Schwabb's actions, they could become liable under the doctrine of agency by ratification. Therefore, Schwabb could still be liable under the doctrine of agency by ratification if sued by a patient.
