A surgeon performs elective surgery on John Smith. Smith later complains to his surgeon about the pain resulting from the surgery. His surgeon dismissed his complaints as not credible and eventually withdrew from the case. Smith is then treated by another surgeon who determines that Smith developed complications from surgery and that the delay in treatment has made the complications worse. Smith sees an attorney about a possible lawsuit against the first surgeon.

How can this case be related to the following terms: negligence, medical abandonment, res ipsa loquitur, and technical battery?
