What is a medical professional's duty in providing care to an infant and a parent?

In this context, a recent decision from this court dealing with a medical professional's duty in providing care to an infant and a parent, Burgess v. Superior Court, supra, 2 Cal.4th 1064, 9 Cal.Rptr.2d 615, 831 P.2d 1197, is instructive. There, this court held that an obstetrician owed a duty not only to the fetus the obstetrician delivered, but also to the mother. This holding was based on the "physical and emotional realities" of the situation. (2 Cal.4th at p. 1076, 9 Cal.Rptr.2d 615, 831 P.2d 1197.)
