“[I]t is settled beyond question that "one who holds himself out as a specialist must employ not merely the skill of a general practitioner, but also that special degree of skill normally possessed by the average physician who devotes special study and attention to the particular organ or disease or injury involved, having regard to the present state of scientific knowledge." Carbone v. Warburton, 22 N.J. Super. 5, 9 , 91 A. 2d 518 (App.Div. 1952), approvingly quoted by our Supreme Court in Carbone v. Warburton, supra , (11 N.J. [418] at page 426 [ 94 A. 2d 680 (1953)]).”
