There are specific circumstances where doctors could be held accountable for malpractice even when there is no relationship between the doctor and patient.
A person who owes the obligation of responsibility must behave in the same way as a reasonable person in the circumstances. For example, a motorist has a duty to be cautious when driving and not cause injuries to other motorists on the road.
