Peters, a thorough litigant if ever there was one, has also brought an action against Dr. Doone, the orthopedist who treated his injuries after the fall.

Peters' claim is that Dr. Doone should have known that Peters' injury might be so severe that Peters could also suffer XYZ syndrome of the knee as a result.

Dr. Doone denies that Peters has XYZ syndrome. In addition, to show that he had no reason to suspect an injury of any such severity, he has offered the same hospital record mentioned in the prior problem against Peters. (In that record, Anne Armstrong recounts Peters' story that he was injured in a fall on some steps.) Doone himself, and witnesses on his behalf, will testify that a fall on steps could not possibly generate the force necessary to cause XYZ syndrome.

First though, as to the evidence of the records proffered by Dr. Doone. If Peters objects to it as hearsay, which of the following rulings should the judge make?
