Thankfully, Doctor Amalia is also on the plane and is able to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation ("CPR") to keep him stabilized until they land, at which point he is taken to a local hospital for further treatment. Two weeks later, Vozzello is shocked when he receives a $37.000 bill from Amalia for the services she provided. Amalia argues that $37,000 is reasonable because she is a nationally renowned cardiovascular specialist who graduated from one of the top medical schools in the world. Which of the following statements is correct? Since Vozzello benefitted from Amalia's services, an implied-in-fact contract was formed.

When she was ready for the X-rays, she was assisted by a student radiological intern. The intern placed Rome on the X-ray table and strapped her onto the table correctly; however, the intern did not properly fasten the footboard, which was located at the foot of the table. As a result of this error, Rome fell and was hurt when the table was raised. As a consequence, Rome brought a lawsuit against Flower Memorial Hospital, alleging that the ordinary negligence of the intern had caused her injury. In contrast, the hospital argued that the lawsuit involved a medical claim, as defined under the state’s medical malpractice statute. Whether a case involves ordinary negligence or a medical claim would determine whether the state’s two-year statute of limitations for negligence or the state’s one-year statute of limitations for medical claims would apply.
