I concur in the main opinion. To the extent that the plaintiff's theory may be that Dr. Teng owed a duty torecommend the proper treatment for Starsha to Dr. Osborn, as distinguished from a duty to take over Starsha's treatment from Dr. Osborn, the absence of evidence that Dr. Osborn would have followed such a recommendation by Dr. Teng interrupts a causal connection between Dr. Teng's failure to make such a recommendation and the ultimate death of Starsha from (according to the plaintiff's evidence) the lack of such proper treatment. *Page 636
