Q1

The following Case Study comes from Chapter 4 in your textbook:

Dan, a medical office assistant in a busy clinic, is a sympathetic and understanding employee. Therefore, when an older patient expressed 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.”

Has Dan, acting as Dr. Jones’s agent, created an implied contract with Mrs. Smith? Explain your answer.

If Dan has created an implied contract, can Mrs. Smith sue Dr. Jones if he fails to fulfill the “terms” of the contract? Explain your answer.

How might you respond to a patient under similar circumstances?
