• plaintiff’s appointment with defendant doctor for treatment of a specified condition was sufficient evidence of a physician/patient relationship to preclude summary judgment on that issue
• plaintiff's appointment with defendant doctor for treatment of a specified condition was sufficient evidence of a physician/patient relationship to preclude summary judgment on that issue
