2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]t is the general law applicable to all persons that if there is a great degree of danger present then there is a greater duty of care to percent [prevent] injuries to other persons. A similar rule applies to physicians or healthcare providers in their treatment of their patients. When there’s a risk of substantial danger present and the symptoms of the patient are consistent with such a risk then the healthcare provider has a duty to respond in proportion to the risk. The greater the risk of the condition to the patient the greater the duty of the healthcare provider to respond appropriately and to provide appropriate treatment.”
