Dr. Arthur treated Dougie for colon cancer and, in the process, discovered Dougie had suffered from multiple polyposis, a treatable condition that often leads to colon cancer if left untreated. Dr. Arthur told Dougie that multiple polyposis is a hereditary condition and that his children are at risk.

Dougie failed to communicate this information to his daughter. 25 years later, Dougie's daughter was diagnosed with colon cancer.

Is Dr. Arthur liable to Dougie's daughter?
