Adams, Judge.
After her 52-year-old husband’s sudden death from an apparent heart attack Cynthia A. Guida, as surviving spouse of Michael J. Guida, and as administratrix of Michael J. Guida’s estate, sued Laurence M. Lesser, M.D., Cardiovascular Group, RC. (CG), and two employees of CG, Jim Zacharias and Joette Warnock, for wrongful death lodging claims for simple negligence, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of a private duty under OCGA § 51-1-8. The crux of Guida’s complaint was that CG’s delay in scheduling an appointment for an exercise stress test for Michael Guida caused his death.1
