1Per curiam
John L. Dewey, M.D., at all relevant times, held himself out as an allergy specialist. He treated Cindy Schendt from September 1961 until November 1971. During the course of his treatment, Dewey recommended and conducted various radiation treatments on Schendt. Once Schendt discontinued her contact with Dewey in 1971, she never contacted him again.
In August 1991, Schendt was first diagnosed with breast cancer and subsequently had breast surgery in September 1991 and again in April 1992. Schendt attributed her cancer to the radiation treatment she had received as a patient of Dewey’s.
