There is no question that the doctor would be liable for damages. I have no problem with this. What is meant by "liable for damages" if a treatable condition when first detected is no longer treatable when the doctor finally does his/her job and notifies the patient, who soon dies? A professional, in your example a medical doctor, is able to charge high prices for his services because of implied competence. In doing so, he/she takes on a responsibility to perform. A malpractice win is a poor substitute for a spouse or child. In the Enron case, significant information was withheld and/or hidden from the investing public, in violation of securities law. These intentional actions are slowly being shown to have been an intentional strategy, orchestrated from the top of the organization. Going back to your example. This is the equivalent of the doctor intentionally telling the patient he suffered from a malady that was more profitable for the doctor to treat, while allowing the patient to die from the real problem.
