Sara was eating in a restaurant when she began to choke on a piece of food that had lodged in her throat. Dr. Scott, who was sitting at a nearby table, did not wish to become involved and did not render any assistance, although prompt medical attention would have been effective in removing the obstruction from Sara’s throat. Because of the failure to obtain prompt medical attention, Sara suffered severe brain injury from lack of oxygen.If Sara asserts a claim against Dr. Scott for her injuries, will Sara prevail?
