Description
We granted certiorari to review the judgment of the Colorado Court of Appeals in Perkins v. Greenberg, 829 P.2d 461 (Colo. App. 1991), reversing a summary judgment in favor of David C. Greenberg, M.D., in a negligence action brought against him by Carolyn L. Perkins in Denver District Court. Perkins alleged that she suffered injuries to her lower back as a result of testing procedures performed by a third party and requested by Greenberg following his own independent medical examination of Perkins. The district court based summary judgment on the Conclusion that in the absence of a physician-patient relationship the doctor owed no duty of care to Perkins to protect her from the asserted injuries. The court of appeals reversed, holding that even though there was no physician-patient relationship between Greenberg and Perkins, the doctor owed Perkins "a duty to exercise due care, both in examining her personally and in directing that she undergo further testing as a part of defendant's examination regimen." Id. at 464. We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.
