The court emphasized the fact mentioned above, that Dr. McGee had solicited the operation, as tending to reinforce the reasonable hearer’s belief that Dr. McGee stood by his guarantee or warranty. If this fact is indeed material to the holding, the holding will be narrow, for few surgical operations are preceded by aggressive solicitation by the physician. The court also noted expressly that much communication by doctors to patients would represent expressions of opinion, or predictions, or reassurances, on which no contractual liability would be based, since reasonable hearers do not understand such communication as creating a contract.
15 Students must swallow (body metaphor), without whimper or protest, the idea that thinking like a lawyer about damaged hands means analogizing them to defective machines. If you can believe that, we promise them, you can be a lawyer. Most students can believe this, of course; few students really drop out of law school over Hawkins v. McGee. Being bright and adaptable, they promptly do go to work believing that hands are machines, as we know they will. What we mean is: if you can believe that, you are complicit with us, you are in fact one of us.
